  "summary": "Tom Cruise's film Digger had a disappointing opening weekend at the box office. The movie, a dark comedy where Cruise plays a wealthy and eccentric oil tycoon, earned $8 million in its opening weekend. According to The Indian Express, it opened with $3.3 million from 3300 screens in North America, including paid preview shows.\n\nThe film's budget was reported to be $125 million. Its opening weekend performance is considered low, with The Indian Express describing it as Tom Cruise's lowest North America opening weekend in 19 years. For comparison, the outlet notes that Cruise's last release, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, performed better.\n\nDaily Times reports that despite the weak box office performance, Tom Cruise is celebrating Digger. The Indian Express also notes that the film's performance was below predictions, which ranged from $12 million to $15 million.",
