Featuring Tom Cruise in a fresh persona, Digger is gearing up for its theatrical release, and its initial North American box-office weekend projections are already generating buzz. Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, the upcoming feature is once again poised to fall short of studio expectations, despite landing a solid debut according to early forecasts. Over time, however, the picture could blossom into a box-office sleeper hit. Read on for the full breakdown.
The movie shares a reported resemblance to Leonardo DiCaprio’s One Battle After Another—a film that struggled commercially at the box office yet garnered rave reviews from both critics and viewers. Consequently, comparisons to the Oscar-winning DiCaprio vehicle are likely to follow the movie throughout its theatrical run.
How much is Digger tracking to earn on its opening weekend in North America?
The Tom Cruise-led dark comedy Digger arrives in cinemas alongside Verity. Despite Cruise’s drawing power, the picture is not projected to surpass Verity during its premiere frame. Data from Box Office Pro indicates that Digger is tracking toward a domestic opening weekend between $20 million and $30 million.

Should results fall inside this forecast window, Warner Bros. will likely miss its coveted $40 million+ opening weekend milestone yet again. For context, Practical Magic 2 also targeted a domestic debut above $40 million before stumbling out of the gate with a $30 million North American opening. These early figures suggest another round of disappointment for the distributor, though Digger does have the potential to outperform One Battle After Another, which pulled in $22 million during its opening weekend.

The plot centers on the most powerful man on Earth as he rushes to prove he is humanity’s savior before an impending catastrophe of his own making obliterates everything. The star-studded cast includes Tom Cruise, Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Jesse Plemons. Digger is scheduled to premiere on October 2.
