Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s “Digger,” starring Tom Cruise, underperforms at the box office. Multiple outlets report the film brings in about $8 million in North America, marking a weak opening for Cruise.
Other reporting places “Digger” at roughly $20 million globally for its opening weekend, with international results also described as soft. The Guardian also cites a reported production budget of about $150 million and mentions marketing costs of around $100 million, framing the potential financial impact. Mashable and Consequence emphasize Cruise’s notably poor opening compared with his prior debuts, while The Guardian adds broader context about the film’s overall opening and its financial stakes.
Across sources, the common point is that “Digger” posts low ticket sales relative to expectations, with critics and market performance discussed together, though outlets vary in whether they focus primarily on Cruise’s career comparison, domestic numbers, or the likely scale of losses.
