Oh No! Tom Cruise’s New Movie ‘Digger’ Isn’t Digging the Box Office
- What’s Inside:
- ‘Digger’ tanks on opening day.
- ‘Verity’ takes the top spot.
- Tom Cruise’s big press tour didn’t help ‘Digger’.
Wow, we just saw the box office numbers and we’re a little shocked! Tom Cruise’s new movie, ‘Digger,’ is really struggling. Even with all the buzz and Tom himself doing interviews everywhere – like on that podcast and a fun segment on the Jennifer Hudson Show – people just aren’t flocking to see it.
On its first day, ‘Digger’ only brought in about $3.4 million. That’s a tough start. We were expecting more, especially with such a huge star promoting it so hard. You could almost picture the movie’s aesthetic – maybe a bit dark and moody, but clearly it’s not grabbing audiences.
Meanwhile, ‘Verity’ is the real winner. It landed at number one, making a much more impressive $15.1 million on Friday. Looks like ‘Verity’ is the movie everyone wants to watch right now!
Our Take
It’s always a bit of a bummer when a big movie with a superstar doesn’t perform as expected. Sometimes even the best marketing can’t save a film if it doesn’t connect with viewers. We’re curious to see if ‘Digger’ picks up steam, but right now, ‘Verity’ is definitely stealing the show.
