Lilian🌸🦋@LilyN_1I honestly can’t remember the last time I looked at a Tom Cruise movie’s box-office numbers and thought, “Damn, this is BAD.” But that’s exactly what’s happening with Digger. The film opened to roughly $7.5 million domestically, making it Cruise’s weakest opening in nearly two decades. That’s shocking when you consider the man has spent the last several years turning his movies into genuine theatrical events with Top Gun: Maverick and the Mission: Impossible films. And I think part of the problem is that Digger is almost the complete opposite of what audiences have come to expect from Tom Cruise. This isn’t Cruise running, fighting, flying planes or performing some insane stunt. He’s playing Digger Rockwell, a wealthy oil tycoon, in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s dark, bizarre environmental satire. It’s much closer to the kind of character-driven, strange material Cruise explored earlier in his career with films like Magnolia and Tropic Thunder. And honestly, I respect the decision….🧵6d

R.Сам 🦋🐏@Logo_DaedalusI think one thing Digger is suffering from in the box office— it’s a frame narrative, so that’s already too many layers of context for the average viewer to hold in their mind. It’s a movie about the importance of reading books (key scene about having to read books!). It is a “literary” film— in the sense of what used to be called “literary fiction.” They don’t make much stuff in this tradition anymore. I dare say Inarritu would make great Roberto Bolaño adaptations.6d
