Cruise's Vanilla Sky Returns as Digger Flops
26 Oct
Summary
- Vanilla Sky, a 2001 psychological thriller starring Tom Cruise, will be re-screened.
- Tom Cruise's latest film, Digger, has experienced a significant box office failure.
- Digger has seen a sharp decline in theater count since its release.
Tom Cruise's 2001 psychological thriller, "Vanilla Sky," is returning to the big screen for a special engagement between November 15 and November 21, 2026. Directed by Cameron Crowe, the film also features Penélope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, and Kurt Russell.
This re-release comes on the heels of a lackluster box office performance for Cruise's latest film, "Digger." Despite early discussions of potential Oscar nominations for his role in the disaster movie, "Digger" has struggled commercially. Originally opening in over 3,300 North American theaters, its availability has plummeted to just over 200 theaters.
While "Digger" did not meet financial expectations, "Vanilla Sky" was a box office hit, grossing more than $200 million globally against its $70 million budget. The contrast highlights a challenging period for Cruise's recent projects, even as his earlier work garners renewed attention.
