One of the biggest cinematic failures took place; Tom Cruise's loss of 245 million dollars

While Iñárritu's new film starring Tom Cruise was expected to be a memorable film, now for some reason it will go down in box office history as the complete opposite of what was expected.

The film "Digger" starring Tom Cruise suffered a 60% drop in its second week of release, so that it has a loss of 245 million dollars.

According to Ambassador Arjan's report, quoted by Variety, while Iñárritu's new movie starring Tom Cruise was expected to be a memorable movie, now for some reason, the complete opposite of what was predicted will be recorded in the history of the box office.

The R-rated environmental comedy starring Tom Cruise and directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu is projected to lose $245 million in its theatrical release, becoming one of the biggest flops not just of this year, but of all time.

The film, which opened last weekend with $8 million in domestic sales and $20 million in global sales, faced a possible loss of $150 to $200 million.

But now, with a 60% decrease in movie ticket sales, in the second weekend of its release, Warner Brothers should prepare for a further decrease, because the total sales of this movie in 2 weeks are 14.4 million dollars in the United States and 35.3 million dollars worldwide.

All this happened while famous Hollywood stars including Anne Hathaway, Jane Fonda, Guillermo del Toro and Mandy Patinkin stood up for "The Other" and encouraged the audience to go to the cinema.

It seems that "Other" will finally be able to sell around 50 million dollars worldwide and since it needs 350 million dollars in sales to reach the break-even point, it will record one of the biggest box office losses.

This black comedy with Cruise playing the role of a rich oil tycoon whose company causes a global disaster, started with a risk and while the budget was initially set at $125 million, it ended up costing $160-180 million, and then the studio spent another $100 million on advertising.

While the film, with a big star and an acclaimed director, could have spent around $15 million on an Oscar campaign, given the lukewarm reception, that's unlikely.

The reviews of the film were so bad that Warner Bros. released ads on social media encouraging viewers to "make up their own minds"!

While a film's profit isn't just from the theatrical release, and there will also be deals for television and online streaming, it's even harder to make a profit for this film because Tom Cruise has a contract that allows him to take a percentage of the revenue - even before reimbursing the cost of production.

Warner Bros. also suffered other losses this year, including "The Bride" and "Supergirl." Mike De Luca and Pam Abdi, the co-chairmen of Warner Bros., left the company last Friday with the release of "Other", which marked a historic sale for the studio in 2025 with blockbuster films including "Sinners", "A Minecraft Movie" and "Weapons", but this year none of the studio's films could cross the $100 million mark in domestic sales.

The studio is now looking to sell Denis Villeneuve's The Dune: Part III, starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, in December.
