Cats (1989 film)

Cats is a British/Chinese musical film produced by the Really Useful Group, Golden Harvest, and China Film Corporation and released by RKO Pictures on December 25, 1989. It is based on the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical of the same name, based on Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliot. The film grossed $56.9 million and had sold millions of tickets at the box office, so RKO requested that the producers adapt another Andrew Lloyd Webber musical for the big screen as a result.
