its based off the book where the kid is a criminal mastermind. This kid is supposed to be bad news. It was suppose to be way less swagger and way more cold/dark. But yea i agree.
Disney’s August Fantasy releases rarely do big business. Normally in the Christopher Robin range or below.
They also have smaller budgets.
I think this was a result of horrible trailer editing.
Hoping that it's that, considering Kenneth's involvement.

he did do the first Thor which was horrible.
He also angered the book fans heavily with changing a sexist character to a woman which then takes away from another major character's storyline/plot.

I feel this is an easy one to move to VOD/D+ on the release date if they wanted. Destined to bomb Imo regardless of whats going on.
With what's going on and it was St. Patrick's day, I'm puzzled why they even attempted this. Even if this does release in theaters, the writings on the wall that it's another big budget flop. Just toss it out on D+ and move on.

VOD it in about three/four weeks, and I’ll probably watch it. I’ll even pay the $20 “first run VOD” price. Good luck getting me to watch it after that.
I watched it last night and oof.
Oof, oof, oof.
I haven't read the books, so I can't comment on how bad the changes were. This movie looks and feels like it belongs in the mid-2000's when every studio was trying to find the next Harry Potter. The second act was a complete drag (which shouldn't happen in a 90 minute movie) and I don't know what the hell Dench and Gad were smoking to make the accents they put on. I wouldn't call it the worst film of the year, or even one that deserves the 10% it has on RT, but...yeah, you're better off just skipping this.

So, if I were doing a double feature, should I watch it before or after Cats?

Before. It gives time for the edibles to kick in and we all know that's the only way to experience Cats.
