'The Rise of Skywalker' turbocharged the box office this weekend as the 9th 'Star Wars' installment generated a massive $176M in US theaters.
Females represented over 50 percent of opening weekend crowds, while 55 percent of ticket buyers were between the ages of 18 and 44 years old. Jim Orr, Universal's president of domestic distribution, pointed out that older patrons don't traditionally rush out to theaters on opening weekend.
"That audience will very much enjoy Tom Hooper's take on this fantastical tale as Christmas and the holidays roll out," Orr said."He really did create something that's visually very fun and entertaining." "Cats" did little to instill optimism overseas, kicking off in the United Kingdom and Ireland with $4.4 million. For perspective, Disney's"Frozen 2" made more money from just domestic theaters in its fifth weekend of release than"Cats" earned globally this weekend .
Universal is still hoping that, like Fox's breakout hit"The Greatest Showman,""Cats" might endure still on the big screen."The Greatest Showman" launched with $8.8 million in 2017, ultimately finding favor with audiences before ending its theatrical run with an impressive $174 million. But that film, starring Hugh Jackman as circus ringmaster P.T.
In a distant second, Sony's"Jumanji" withstood a 56% decline from its inaugural outing and scored another $26.2 million. The Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart-led sequel has earned $102 million at the domestic box office and $312 million worldwide.

All the Deranged Ways the Cats Cast Has Described Portraying CatsWhile the rest of the Jezebel staff was suffering through a Cats screening in Times Square, I was chained to a sofa in California, my brain slowly melting out of my brain while live-blogging last night’s democratic debate. And because I don’t plan on sitting through this movie any time soon—I’d rather torture myself with the definitely terrible Star Wars IX—my only knowledge of the film comes from some deranged press interviews with the many actors and singers and dancers leaping about in Cats.
