Tom Cruise’s Digger Reportedly Positioned to Lose $250 Million

Tom Cruise's controversial film Digger is on track to lose $250 million by the end of its run, according to TheWrap. The film, which has faced mixed reviews from both critics and audiences, has failed to meet Warner Bros.' expectations following a disappointing opening weekend. Digger grossed just $8 million in the United States and a further $12 million internationally, far below the $40 million in worldwide box office revenue insiders predict.

Skydance, the new owners of Warner Bros. following their controversial $110 billion deal, has not commented on these claims. Despite the film's high budget and the involvement of Oscar-winning director Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Digger has struggled to gain traction at the box office. Critics have dismissed it as "far from a must-watch."
