Digger Opens Soft at $1.2 Million While Verity Soars to $4.5 Million
Tom Cruise's new film "Digger" is off to a sluggish start, pulling in just $1.2 million in Thursday night previews, according to a report from JoBlo. The outlet noted the figure is a "stumble" for the star's latest outing.
Meanwhile, the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover's novel "Verity" is showing much stronger early numbers. The thriller earned a robust $4.5 million from its Thursday preview screenings.
JoBlo's report indicates that "Verity" is on track for a potential opening weekend above $30 million. This strong start comes despite the outlet noting the film has faced "harsh critical reviews."
The contrasting preview numbers set up an interesting box office battle. While "Digger" struggled to find its initial audience, "Verity" appears to be connecting with fans of the popular source material right out of the gate.
