‘Cats’ is getting new special effects while it’s still in theaters

You’ve seen movies receive visual touch-ups in special edition re-releases, but Universal is trying something new: it’s updating a movie while it’s still in the middle of its initial theatrical run. The media giant has informed theaters that it’s giving them a new version of Cats that delivers “some improved visual effects,” according to a memo Hollywood Reporter saw. Insiders talking to the publication said that director Tom Hooper wanted to alter some of the effects after rushing to get the movie ready in time for its December 16th premiere screening.
