JAKARTA - The latest film made by Universal Studio's production house, 'Cats' failed to reach the box office in its first week of broadcast. Tom Hooper's adaptation of only $ 38 million globally after two weeks of screenings in theaters.

Screenings in this Christmas season are also considered to have failed to get the attention of film lovers even though they aired during the Christmas season. The reason is to get the title of Box Office, a film must be able to get a profit of more than 100 million dollars since its screening in theaters.

The film, starring singers such as Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, and Jason Derulo, was produced to reach 100 million dollars plus 95 million dollars for marketing and distribution costs. However, their achievement could not cover the huge expenditure given to the film Cats

Reporting from Variety, previously Universal had asked to replace a new visual for the Cats film. This is because director Tom Hooper insists on showing the film on December 20, leaving some editing incomplete. One of them was busy on Twitter when someone saw a player dressed in a cat suit with his hands visible.

Wait. They didn't bother finishing the CGI on Rebel Wilson's human hand? 💀⚰️⚱️ #Cats pic.twitter.com/u9g5xNA5XM

I think this image of Dame Judy Dench in Cats, where they forgot to CGI her hand, has convinced me to see the film. It looks like an utter train-wreck and I can't wait. pic.twitter.com/6GDGHgmWbI

In addition, since its premiere, Cats has received a number of harsh criticism regarding the film. CGI that doesn't work well and stories that can't help the bad CGI make a film adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber story.

Actually, this issue has been heard since the release of the first trailer which is considered to have bad editing. Also recently Cats was pulled from Universal's For Your Consideration page for Oscars by surprise.

Even so, Universal Studios still achieved box office success with films like Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw, How to Train Your Dragon 3, Good Boys, Yesterday, and Last Christmas currently broadcast.

This film tells the story of the life of Jellicles, a group of cats who come together to make the annual "Jellicle choice". There, they decide which cat should ascend to the Heaviside Layer, a heaven-like place where cats are reborn. Cats stars James Corden, Idris Elba, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, Jason Derulo, and Rebel Wilson.
