《Digger》上映前夕遇冷：开画预测下调至 1200 万至 1500 万美元，克鲁斯新片被指或成年度最大票房败笔
据 Variety 报道、Men's Journal 10 月 1 日跟进，汤姆·克鲁斯与奥斯卡导演伊尼亚里图合作的新片《Digger》将于 10 月 2 日在北美上映，但上映前瞻并不乐观：该片首周末票房预测已下调至 1200 万至 1500 万美元，明显低于此前 1800 万至 2000 万美元的预期，被多家媒体形容为可能成为 2026 年最大的票房败笔之一。
克鲁斯过去多部作品都是天然的票房事件，《Digger》却是一部风格强烈的作者电影。早期口碑两极：《好莱坞报道者》直言难以想象主流观众会走进影院看这场「煎熬」，《帝国》杂志批评影片「更关心自己而非观众」，《纽约邮报》更点名克鲁斯的表演浮夸失真；但 Deadline 力挺伊尼亚里图，称其仍是当今最具原创性的导演之一。
同日上映的还有改编自科琳·胡佛小说的惊悚片《Verity》（安妮·海瑟薇、达科塔·约翰逊主演），票房机构预测其将以 2500 万至 3500 万美元领跑周末，与《Digger》形成鲜明对照。

Cruise's 'Digger' Tracking Soft Ahead of Oct. 2 Opening, Variety Reports
Tom Cruise's new film 'Digger,' directed by Oscar winner Alejandro González Iñárritu, was tracking toward a disappointing opening ahead of its Oct. 2 North American release, according to Variety, as reported by Men's Journal on Oct. 1. Projections had fallen to $12 million to $15 million for the opening weekend, down from earlier estimates of $18 million to $20 million, prompting speculation that the film could become the biggest box office bomb of 2026.
Early critical reaction was sharply divided. The Hollywood Reporter doubted mainstream audiences would sit through the film, Empire wrote that it seemed more concerned with itself than with viewers, and the New York Post singled out Cruise's performance; Deadline, by contrast, praised Iñárritu as one of the most original filmmakers working today.
'Digger' opened the same day as the Colleen Hoover adaptation 'Verity,' starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett, which Boxoffice Pro projected would lead the weekend with $25 million to $35 million — a stark contrast in commercial prospects for the two releases.
