Digger Falls 60% in Second Weekend as Sources Project $245 Million Theatrical Loss
The Warner Bros. film's domestic total reached $14.4 million and its global total $35.3 million, according to Variety.
Digger fell 60% in its second weekend of release, bringing its domestic total to $14.4 million and its global total to $35.3 million, according to Variety. Sources now project the Warner Bros. film will lose $245 million over its theatrical run.
That figure is higher than the $150 million to $200 million loss Warner Bros. had previously anticipated from the film's theatrical release.
Digger is expected to finish its box office run with roughly $50 million globally.
Production costs rose before release
Warner Bros. greenlit Digger for $125 million, but the budget climbed to $160 million to $180 million after production went over schedule, with another $100 million spent on global marketing.
The film opened last weekend to $8 million domestically and $20 million globally. Warner co-chiefs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy departed the company last Friday, the same day Digger opened.
