Tom Cruise’s Digger trails Drishyam 3 at Indian box office
Digger is a new movie starring Tom Cruise.
It did not sell as many tickets as expected in North America or India.
In India, it earned Rs 45 lakh on Saturday, less than it earned on its opening day.
The report says it made Rs 1.30 crore in total after two days.
Drishyam 3, an Indian movie starring Ajay Devgn, earned much more during its first two days.
The article says the two films were competing for moviegoers in India.
It also says Digger received mixed reviews and features Cruise in a very different kind of role.
The film’s North American opening was below the amount its studio had predicted.
Digger earned Rs 45 lakh on its first Saturday in India, down more than 30% from its reported opening-day collection of Rs 65 lakh.
After two days, the film had reportedly grossed Rs 1.30 crore in India, with net collections of Rs 1.10 crore.
The article says Digger opened in North America at $3.3 million and was projected to earn about $8 million over the weekend.
Digger’s North American opening was below Warner Bros’ projected $12 million to $15 million range.
Drishyam 3, starring Ajay Devgn, reportedly earned over Rs 115 crore in its first two days in India.
