Having now a final gross tally of just $27.2 million domestically, with a reported budget of $100 million to its name, “Cats” has become one of the all-time box-office bombs. It is expected to have losses in and around the 72% range. That doesn’t even include marketing. It likely already lost over $100m. Ouch. You either die a Broadway play or live long enough to be adapted into a box-office flop. Lest we forget, there is a reason why it’s taken over 38 years to finally bring “Cats” to the big screen. It’s a musical that has, for the longest time, been deemed “unfilmable.” Based on the hit musical, the longest-running one in Broadway history, the film is the latest Oscar-bait vehicle for director Tom Hooper. If you remember, he also gave us “Les Miserables,” “The Danish Girl” and “The King’s Speech.” Contribute Hire me
