32Kernel Score — Generally Unfavorable, 51 reviews
The Kernel take
Cats (32) is the cleanest "justified skip" in this dataset — a weak score and a weak box office agreeing with each other, on a $95M budget plus $115M in marketing that never had a chance of coming back.
Box office
Budget $95M · Marketing $115M · Box office $77.3M
A -27.2% second-weekend drop looks almost normal — the damage was already done in a weak opening the reviews had fully predicted, not a cratering hold after the fact.
