'Verity' tracking for $30-35M opening as Tom Cruise's 'Digger' struggles with $10-15M projection
The Colleen Hoover adaptation 'Verity' (starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, Josh Hartnett) is tracking for a strong $30-35M opening weekend, while Tom Cruise and Alejandro G. Iñárritu's 'Digger' faces weak projections around $10-15M, marking Cruise's lowest opening in nearly two decades.
TLDR
The stark contrast in box office performance reflects shifting audience preferences toward psychological thrillers over auteur-driven ambitious projects, even with major star power. The divergent results highlight studio pressures during industry consolidation, particularly for Warner Bros. amid the Skydance merger. Early preview numbers and real-time tracking underscore ongoing questions about theatrical viability for big-budget releases and changing moviegoing patterns.
