Tom Cruise's Digger Flop Highlights the Limits of Star Power

Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Digger arrived over the weekend and grossed a measly $8 million domestically against a nine-figure production budget, with the Wrap reporting that the movie is expected to lose $250 million — about $100 million more than was previously projected.
