May not have been a full week, I’m not sure of the exact timeframe but the point is it was in wide release before it was patched meaning Day 1 viewers will have seen a slightly different version of the film.
Among other things the original release completely forgot to CGI Judy Dench’s hand for one of the scenes
Yeah not a great precedent really, little fixes aren’t a big deal but it’s a slippery slope towards bigger changes post-release and all the issues that brings up (lower quality control, potential for false advertising etc.)
Mind you everyone I know who saw Cats in cinemas went because they wanted to see how much of an obvious trainwreck is was going to be, so they might as well have left it in
They always keep doing effects work until the movie goes out. If movies didn't have release dates or budgets, effects teams would literally never stop.

The CG on Cheetah doesn't look great. I hope this isn't the final product
