Digger (2026)

I went and saw it yesterday. I can't say I liked it but I didn't hate it, either. Yeah, it's about fossil fuels and greed and climate change but I never felt like the movie was preaching to me. There were too many humorous elements for me to take that message seriously. Very well acted with great sets. Very loud and sometimes difficult to understand dialog. Everybody shouts all the time. A good change from the standard Tom Cruise. I'd rate it 7/10.

Nothing like jet set multi-millionaires preaching to the peanut gallery about climate change when we can't even afford our electricity bills because they shut down all the coal plants while simultaneously building energy hungry data centers on every corner.

this feels like a movie i'll either absolutely hate (i HATED Birdman) or think its funny/weird. i'll just wait for VOD, sitting in a theater for a movie you hate is the worst

movie is bombing hard and its WB so should be a relatively short VOD window.

Skydance just completed their audit of Warner Bros. Skydance is not happy Warner allowed this to happen. The purse strings will be tightened on Warner Bros future films.

It's a 250m loss.

If I'm the only person for a five dollar ticket night showing of Digger does the theater lose money on the deal? Warner Brothers gets a slice of that fiver and then you've got electricity costs plus maintenance and depreciation.
