Cats has less than purr-fect start at US and UK box office
The movie version of Cats has failed to live up to expectations at the box office, taking just $6.5m at the North American box office.

The trade paper reported that the film's director, Tom Hooper, had ordered re-edits to his film with"some improved visual effects", ready for release.The movie has an all-star cast that includes Taylor Swift, Idris Elba, Rebel Wilson and Jason Derulo and is based on the hit stage musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber.at the US box office, Cats trailed after Jumanji: The Next Level and Frozen 2.
Hooper, who made Oscar-winning film The King's Speech, has been open about the fact that he only just managed to finish his CGI-heavy movie before its world premiere in New York on Monday.
