Tom Cruise's 'Digger' opens to $8 million and an estimated $150 million-plus loss

IndieWire reports that 'Digger' opened to $8 million, which it calls the biggest bomb of Tom Cruise's career. Studio sources estimate the expensive satire is on track to lose $150 million or more.

The scale of the projected loss is the striking part, not the opening number alone: a studio source estimate of $150 million or more on a satire is the kind of figure that reshapes how a star's next project gets financed.
