Those are better scores than Black Christmas last weekend, so a D+ or above? 

 

Yeah, I'm thinking the same CinemaScore. The updated data is now:

 

The few who saw Cats last night gave it 1 1/2 stars which syncs up with critics’ 19% bashing

[hasanahmad]

Wait WHAT ?!!!!!!!

[AniNate]

Lolololol

[JB33]

Lol! The perfect storm around this movie is too....perfect!

[CloneWars]

I can't believe I watched this.

I guess it will bomb after all. I think it will do decent in UK, but flop elsewhere.

[CloneWars]

So, here's my thoughts. Cats belongs among the greats such as The Room, and well, The Room. Although, nothing beats The Room, but it's a runner up.

[Ithil]

Day one patch.

[aladdino]

this is the new glitter/gigli

[Krissykins]

Hmm, I think the critics are jumping on the bandwagon a bit. 
 

 

It was literally the stage show Cats... as a film. 
 

Wonder how many of them have seen the show (or liked it). 
 

3/5

That sounds terrible, no wonder they didn't like it.

The critics all published their reviews at the same time. 

 

What makes a property work on stage does not necessarily translate for everyone to film. 

 

Even as a stage show, Cats developed a reputation. Obviously it has many fans, it won awards when it was new, but also has numerous detractors who derided it as kitsch, strictly for tourists and lacking in a plot or good/memorable music (apart from Memory).  There's a reason this cartoon/meme used Cats and not other equally famous megamusicals like Phantom of the Opera or Les Mis:

Not really about the critics thing, only a few dropped bang on embargo. I think it’s more a fact of not many of them have seen the show. When I see them saying “there’s no plot” I’m thinking.... this a surprise why? Lol 
 

Yeh I know about the shows reputation, especially the last few years. No idea what that cartoon thing is though, didn’t click it lol. 
 

Aaaanyway, its a very close adaptation.

I keep seeing this but it's not entertaining enough to be a re-watchable midnight classic. Yeah, it's a complete disaster but it's incredibly boring.

I disagree, I got a vibe. 
 

It certainly has the review and box office to become a cult classic lol

So I have never heard of anything like this and I think it's insane that Universal thinks this will fix the movies issues. I'm seeing this tomorrow night and I don't think the regal in my area is attached to Universal's download system. I believe they get copies as well. So yeah...

Yeah that whole thing is really weird. I don't know what to make of it. Maybe @Barnack knows something.

[filmlover]

This was awful, as expected, but there's definitely a WTF quality to it that ensures it's destined to become a cult classic down the line even as everyone involved in this either says it sucks or refuses to talk about it in interviews.

[Madhuvan]

Honest opinion :

I really loved Cats. It was very enjoyable movie throughout. I don't know what you all were expecting. I expected Cats and I got Cats. 

Yes, CGI was wonky at times but everything else was just perfect. A perfect movie for holidays. 

8/10 

Wish there was more Tay-Tay. 

[Noctis]

Tom Hooper is an idiot for wanting to do Cats.
