Cruise's 'Digger' Tanks: Worst Opening in 20 Years?
4 Oct
Summary
- 'Digger' earned $3.4 million on its opening day.
- The film is projected to earn between $7 million and $10 million.
- This could be Tom Cruise's lowest opening in two decades.
Alejandro G. Iñárritu's new R-rated film, 'Digger,' starring Tom Cruise, has debuted at #3 in North America but with significantly underperforming box office numbers. On its opening day, September 25, 2026, the film garnered only $3.4 million, including $1.2 million from Thursday previews.
Initially projected to earn around $15 million, 'Digger' is now expected to gross between $7 million and $10 million over its opening weekend. This anticipated figure would represent the lowest opening weekend for a Tom Cruise film in nearly twenty years.
The underperformance of 'Digger' continues a challenging period for Warner Bros. Pictures at the box office. This follows recent underwhelm from other releases, suggesting a need for a significant hit for the studio and its star.
