Unrelated: anyone going to see "Digger"?

It’s apparently going to lose $170-250 million. Like three times as big a flop as Joker: Folie A Deux. Weird, prior to it coming out there was apparently a lot of Oscar buzz for Tom Cruise for making himself looking all old and ugly?

And is this proof that people still listen to movie critics, who apparently mostly shellacked the movie? Inarritu is apparently getting hit really hard for it.

From what I’ve read, it’s some sort of meta-movie-within-a-movie satire of stuff like Don’t Look Up, Cruise is actually playing an actor playing the Digger character. Like you’re not supposed to know that going in.

I’m only posting this because sometimes I have a curiosity about huge flops.
