“Digger” continues to flop at the box office

The dark comedy “Digger,” starring Tom Cruise, continues to hemorrhage viewers, pulling in a meager $9.6 million worldwide during its second weekend. Its cumulative global gross now sits at $35.3 million against a substantial production budget exceeding $160 million. For such a massive Warner Bros. tentpole, these dismal figures render the prospect of profitability virtually impossible.

The “Digger” situation underscores the persistent volatility of the theatrical market: high-budget spectacles led by A-list stars are increasingly met with audience apathy, while leaner, low-cost horror films often manage to recoup their investments swiftly, regardless of critical reception.
