"Digger" opened with $3.4 million from 3,321 North American theaters on Friday, according to Variety. The film, a black comedy starring Tom Cruise, had a major press tour but failed to generate significant box office interest.
In contrast, "Verity" from Amazon MGM took the top spot with $15.1 million on Friday, playing in 3,510 locations. TheWrap reported that "Verity" is expected to earn around $33 million over the weekend and has a budget of $40 million.
The box office outlook for "Digger" is grim, with a budget estimated to be at least $125 million, and possibly as high as $160 million, as per TheWrap. Forbes noted that "Digger" is projected to earn below its already low pre-release projections.
