Cats, what was supposed to be Universal’s big holiday musical release, seems to be truly dead in Universal’s latest awards season move.

It’s been a rough road for Universal’s big-screen adaptation of the Broadway hit Cats. And in their latest move, it seems that the studio has finally accepted that the film that should have been their big holiday blockbuster has flopped.

As Variety reports, Universal has officially cut the musical from their official For Your Consideration page. Additionally, it is being reported that the movie is not available on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ streaming platform where Academy members can watch films contending for Oscars.

Additionally, the movie’s one original song, “Beautiful Ghosts” by Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Taylor Swift wasn’t shortlisted for an Oscar either. It was, however, nominated for a Golden Globe (the only Golden Globe nomination for Cats, in fact).

Unfortunately, it isn’t surprising to see Universal remove its support from Cats so entirely, as the film seemed doomed from the start. Reactions to the first trailer were overwhelmingly negative, with many people calling the CGI human/cat hybrids nightmare fuel.

And if the movie turning into one, giant meme after the first trailer dropped wasn’t enough, it didn’t make a dent at the box office. Cats had a budget of a whopping $100 million, but Variety reports it pulled in a staggeringly small $15.3 million worldwide in its first six days.

Additionally, director Tom Hooper didn’t finish the movie until literal hours prior to the New York premiere. Because of the rushed completion, the movie had several CGI errors, and Universal ended up sending movie theaters an updated copy to correct the special effects mistakes.

Suffice it to say, it’s been a rough journey for Cats. And now with Universal pulling the flick from heir FYC page, it seems Universal is ready to admit defeat.

If you haven’t seen Cats in theaters yet and you want to, it’s still available to watch. But don’t sleep on this one, because it won’t be too long before this one leaves movie theaters and passes over to the Heaviside Layer.
