Poor critical reception and audience rejection of the R-rated climate satire have sharply curtailed "Digger"'s theatrical prospects after its $8 million domestic opening. Mixed reviews, a C CinemaScore, and Tom Cruise in an atypical dramatic role fueled the underperformance against high expectations for the Alejandro G. Iñárritu-directed film. Steep daily drops and a projected legs multiplier near 1.1 point to limited holdover appeal heading into the second weekend. Traders see the combination of weak word-of-mouth, competition from stronger holdovers, and broad disinterest as the main drivers positioning mid-single-digit millions as the consensus range, with limited upside from any late momentum.
