Pop singer Taylor Swift is not a big box office draw. Hollywood is finding this out much to its horror, as Swift's starring role in "Cats" spectacularly bombed at the box office, grossing $6,500,000 in its opening weekend. The studio tried to rush out another edit of the film, but that failed as well.

Variety magazine stated Universal has lost over $100,000,000 on "Cats." This makes "Cats" one of the biggest movie flops of all time. Things got so bad, the studio pulled the film from Oscar consideration (as reported in Forbes), lest the get laughed out of town.

It does not spell good news for Swift's acting career having her name attached to such a massive flop. It has placed her film career firmly in the toilet before it ever got a chance to get off the ground. Behind the scenes, the studios have now labeled her box office poison, which means they will be very reluctant to spend any decent money on any film she stars in, for fear of a repeat of "Cats."
