**"Digger" opened to a dismal $8 million domestically in early October 2026, far below expectations for the Tom Cruise–led R-rated satire from Alejandro G. Iñárritu, landing it as a major box-office bomb with steep daily drops and a C CinemaScore.** Poor critical reception, audience rejection of the unconventional premise, and competition from stronger holdovers and newcomers like "Verity" have driven rapid erosion of interest. With total domestic gross reaching only about $9.9 million after five days and minimal legs, traders see the second weekend (Oct. 9–11) settling in the $3–5 million range as the most likely outcome. The film's original nature, R rating, and marketing challenges further limit upside, while historical patterns for similar underperformers cap the probability of outsized holds.
