New Projections Put Digger Losses at $250 Million
The Wrap reports that Tom Cruise's Digger is projected to lose $250 million, even after post-theatrical revenue is counted.
New box office projections reported by The Wrap estimate that Tom Cruise's film Digger will lose $250 million, a larger figure than previously estimated. According to the outlet, the projected loss is expected to remain the same even after post-theatrical revenue is counted.
Skydance insiders also predict, according to the report, that Digger will not earn more than $40 million worldwide. Skydance executives were shocked by the extent of the financial setback following the Warner Bros. and Paramount merger, the report said. Warner Bros. did not comment when asked about the Digger box office situation.
Digger was released on October 2 and performed very poorly at the box office. In its opening weekend, the film earned only $8 million in the U.S. and $21 million worldwide. With a production budget of $125 million, the film has secured a worldwide box office collection of $23,016,375, according to The Numbers.
Earlier reports estimated the film might lose around $125 million. The film, directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, premiered on September 22, 2026, in London as part of the Royal Film Performance in Leicester Square. It debuted with a 41% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes and stood at 53% on September 29, just days before its release.
