Cats was theatrically released in the United Kingdom and the United States on 20 December 2019, by Universal Pictures. The movie had very bad reviews from critics, with many calling it one of the worst movies of 2019.

The movie also became a box-office bomb, making $74 million on a budget as high as $100 million.
