Tom Cruise's 'Digger' Faces Significant Box Office Losses Amid Mixed Reception
Tom Cruise's environmental satire "Digger," directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, has underperformed at the box office, with global earnings around USD 50 million against production and marketing costs estimated between USD 260 million and USD 280 million. Industry experts predict losses near USD 245 million for Warner Bros. The film, which critiques American culture through a story about an oil tycoon causing an ecological disaster, received mostly negative reviews and saw a steep decline in ticket sales after its opening. Despite poor commercial results, some Hollywood stars have publicly supported the film.
