The only commercial I saw for it was a 5 minute recap of Tom cruises past films with a 15 second clip of digger right at the end. And tom cruises name. Thats all I know about the movie.

What is MM

Impressive accounting to spend $180 mil, make some amount of profit, and still claim it costed you $245 mil.

I saw Odyssey last weekend and the theatre was like 60 or 70% full. Digger was also playimg, and in hindsight, i would've rather watched that one. Although, i don't want to spend money on the Scientology weirdo and just pirate it.

I saw it yesterday and it's a great film. Everyone I know who's seen it has enjoyed it.

I had seen the articles about it not making money, which is a problem, but not necessarily a reflection of the film itself.

I was surprised reviewers were treating it so harshly. I absolutely have issues with the film but it's still a solid movie. I definitely left the theater with interesting things to think about.

I'm reminded of the recent film "The Drama". The summary of that film is "A happily-engaged couple is put to the test when an unexpected turn sends their wedding week off the rails." If you've seen the film, sure... Technically that's true. But the film is about A LOT of other things that are much more interesting. (I don't want to spoil more, but it's an excellent film but as fair warning it deals with heavy issues.)

I think "Digger" is like that. The trailer and summary pitch a simple plot, "The most powerful man in the world embarks on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity's savior before the disaster he's unleashed destroys everything." Again, technically that's true. You will see that story in the film. But you're also going to see something else and that something else is interesting and entertaining.

Licensing a film for streaming isn't as lucrative. Its going to take a long time to make that money back.

The movie may have bombed at the box office, but it's supposed to be a good movie.
