Tom Cruise’s ‘Digger’ struggles at box office despite Anne Hathaway’s praise

Tom Cruise’s new satirical film, ‘Digger’, directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, has experienced a significant box office struggle. The film, which follows an oil tycoon facing an environmental crisis, earned approximately $8 million in North America and $12 million internationally during its opening weekend. With a reported production budget between $125 million and $180 million, plus substantial marketing costs, the film is facing potential heavy financial losses.

Despite the commercial disappointment and mixed critical reviews, actress Anne Hathaway has offered strong support for the project. On the platform Letterboxd, Hathaway awarded the film a perfect 10/10 rating, describing it as “smart and trippy and aggressive and funny and ambitious.” She encouraged audiences to watch the film and form their own opinions.

Tom Cruise has expressed pride in the work, thanking the cast and crew on social media. While the film’s debut is one of the weakest of his recent career, some observers suggest it could eventually find a following as a cult classic.
