Tom Cruise's 'Digger' Suffers Major Box Office Flop, 'Verity' Claims Weekend Top Spot

Tom Cruise's highly anticipated film 'Digger' has experienced a significant box office disappointment, grossing only an estimated $8 million over its opening weekend. This marks one of the lowest openings for the star in nearly two decades, failing to meet expectations despite an extensive promotional tour.

Meanwhile, the film 'Verity' has emerged as the weekend's top earner, bringing in approximately $15.1 million on Friday alone and is projected to exceed $33 million by Sunday. The R-rated black comedy 'Digger,' directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, is considered a substantial financial loss for Warner Bros., while 'Verity' has secured a solid start. Both films received a C+ CinemaScore from audiences.
