Tom Cruise’s massively expensive Global Warming screed Digger is DOA at the box office after Thursday previews managed to attract only $1.2 million in box office revenue.
\n\nBetween production and promotion costs, Warner Bros. sank about $250 million into this disaster. Digger is the creation of two-time Oscar winner González Iñárritu, who is known to have climbed up his own ass on more than one occasion in a quest for self-importance.
\n\nIn a twist that few might have predicted this time last year… Tom Cruise and Alejandro González Iñárritu’s R-rated environmental satire Digger … is shaping up to be one of the year’s biggest bombs, with opening weekend projections of $12 million to $15 million from 3,300 North American screens.
\n\nOther wide release movies that opened to about the same amount on their Thursday nights all died at the box office. A few examples:
\n\nWith a $1.2 million opening, Digger is unlikely to hit even the $12 to $15 million opening Variety expects.
\n\nAdditionally, none of those other weak openers starred Tom Cruise or anyone close to a Tom Cruise.
\n\nThe last time Cruise had a wide release movie he starred in open below $12 million all the way back…
