Tom Cruise remains optimistic about his latest film, "Digger," despite a sluggish start at the box office. The actor shared behind-the-scenes photos from the production, expressing gratitude to the cast and crew for their efforts. "Digger" sees Cruise playing a ruthless oil tycoon, Digger Rockwell, whose actions lead to a global disaster.
He is then challenged by the president, played by John Goodman, to fix the mess he created. The film has sparked numerous discussions regarding its plot. Cruise stated on social media, "Digger is officially in theaters and I am so honored to have had the opportunity to create this film alongside such talented artists. Thank you to the entire cast and crew for your dedication, hard work, and joy.
The experience was truly unforgettable and I’m so proud of what we created." The opening weekend was far from successful, with the film grossing only $7.5 million from just 3,321 locations. Considering its substantial budget of $125 million or more, the box office performance falls short of expectations. The film's director, Alejandro Inarritu, has received mixed reviews from both critics and audiences, earning a modest C+ on CinemaScore and 51% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, alongside 71% from audiences.
