Tom Cruise’s $125M Movie Officially Removed From Nearly 2,800 Theaters

Warner Bros. has removed Tom Cruise’s political satire *Digger* from 2,758 theatres as it enters its third week, following a poor box-office run. The steep cut in screenings highlights the scale of the film’s commercial failure, despite a major marketing campaign and support from some well-known actors.

The film has grossed about $40 million worldwide against a reported production budget of $180 million, and is expected to finish its US run below $20 million. Its 2,758-screen reduction is the third-largest such drop in history, behind *The Rhythm Section* (2,955) and *Cry Macho* (2,780); *Digger* remains in around 560 theatres. Reviews have been divided, while the article says the film could still find a cult audience or awards recognition.
