Cruise's 'Digger' Flops: Box Office Woes Hit Hard
1 Oct
Summary
- Digger's opening weekend tracking between $12 million and $15 million domestically.
- Production costs for Digger escalated to $160-$180 million.
- The film is projected to lose the top spot to 'Verity' on its debut weekend.
Tom Cruise's new film, 'Digger,' is experiencing a significant and disappointing opening at the North American box office. Projections indicate a domestic debut revenue between $12 million and $15 million, a figure considered underwhelming given the film's high production expenses.
Originally budgeted at $125 million, the costs for 'Digger' reportedly rose to between $160 million and $180 million due to production delays. This financial pressure, combined with poor critical reception, suggests the film is on track to be a major box office disappointment.
The film is also set to cede the top box office spot to Anne Hathaway's "Verity" in their debut weekend. Analysts are scrutinizing whether extraordinary word-of-mouth can salvage the film from being a significant commercial failure.
