  "account": "Tom Cruise's latest film, Digger, is facing a potential box office disaster, according to recent reports. The movie, which stars Cruise alongside John Goodman, Riz Ahmed, Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Jesse Plemons, has opened to a disappointing $8 million at the box office, making it one of Cruise's worst theatrical openings ever. With a production budget ranging from $163 million to $173 million and a marketing budget of $100 million, the film is expected to lose a staggering $250 million for Warner Bros. This would place Digger among the biggest box office bombs in history, joining the ranks of notorious flops such as John Carter and The Lone Ranger. The film, a twisty dark comedy directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, revolves around \"the most powerful man in the world\" and the consequences of his actions, marking Cruise's most political movie in decades.",
