At the end of 2019, my wife dragged me to Cats (the movie). We rarely go to movies and I think this was the third movie of the year that we attended. It was one of those rare events.
About fifteen minutes into the movie....I just started to think....why would anyone want to make some musical movie out of this?
About the 20th minute...I had consumed all of my 20-ounce Coke....thinking it would help to keep me awake.
About minute 33, I was nodding off...fighting it. About minute 38, my wife poked me to remind me not to fall asleep during the movie.
About minute 45, I stepped out to go to the bathroom.....where I purchased a second 20-ounce Coke.
Around minute 105, I came to the realization that it was finally coming to an end. Five minutes later....it ended.
The studio says they spent between 80 and 100 million to make/market the movie. Box office return? Presently around 75-million.....so yeah, it was a loss.
I've generally kept my mouth shut on the movie, but I have to say that it was really one of the most boring movies I've ever watched....yes, even worse than the 2014 'Noah' or the 2010 'Last Airbender'. At some point with Noah, I kept thinking....Noah, you just need to pack a bag and head off to safe place.
Someone needs to make a simulant for movies like this....to sell you at the door.
