By The Great Gatsby had a moderately decent opening weekend, pulling $51m+ in ticket sales. However, that wasn’t enough to take down the superhero-filled Iron Man 3. Maybe if Baz Luhrmann tapped into his feline alter-ego, Baz Purrman, and created The Great Catsby. No yarn or mice would ever be safe again!
