I read all these headlines as if there is no movie and it's just about actual cats.

Human-to-cat-monstrosity wizardry doesn't come cheap, it turns out.

 

[NealMcCauley]

I think that's already been debunked. Variety or another trade said it's closer to $100M.

John Carter was a bad movie but it looks like less of a train wreck then cats is shaping up to be. At least John Carter didn't inspire nightmares.

Who the hell asked for this?
Lol

 

[skipgo]

That's a lot of litter

AHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Surakian]

This movie is set to fail :c what were they thinking?

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Like, we could have just gotten an animated movie with regular-ass cartoon cats for 1/3rd the price, but noooo...

 

[gforguava]

There is no way that number is remotely accurate.

Truth.

I'm sure this movie will overtake Avatar day1. Watch.

 

[NealMcCauley]

Yeah here's Variety's article

The road to "Cats" on the big screen has not been easy. The movie, which boasts a formidable cast that includes Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Judi Dench, Ian McKellan, James Corden, Jason Derulo, Rebel Wilson and Taylor Swift as singing and dancing felines, has had numerous false starts over the years. While the production, which is estimated to have cost more than $100 million (not including marketing), shot last winter, a lengthy post-production process has left Universal scrambling to get a finished print done for Christmas.

cats are booji as fuck

 

[WillyFive]

The visuals look really rushed, any shot that is not a face close up looks terrible.

Releasing the same day as Star Wars no less.

Why do some of the "Cats" wear clothing while others do not?

I eat people like you for lunch. Come to my house and say this to me. How dare u.

Remember, you have to make about 2.5x your budget to turn a profit in Hollywood these days, so yeah, this is fuuuuuucked.

This movie is going to be the highest-grossing movie ever. Endgame's reign will be short-lived.

 

[maximumzero]

I don't think this is gonna be a bomb, but if that's the actual budget I don't expect it making a huge profit. I mean, The Greatest Showman managed almost $435 million worldwide, so weirder things have happened.

 

[BringBackSonics]

BOMBA.

There exist out there musical movies that have gross 700+ million $ ??

Mammia Mia, maybe?

I think Deadpool have half the budget of this and we'll still do better.

Hmm. Maybe want when it's out. Dammit.

Boy this movie hits uncanny valley like nothing else for me.

 

[jph139]

Listen you can have it good, you can have it cheap, you can have it fast, but you can't have all three.

Or maybe any of them.

 

[catboy]

i don't think it will flop massively, but i don't think it will earn much more than cost

i think the cast and meme potential is enough to see it that far though

 

[Shodan14]

How long till the actors distance themselves?
