Overview
- Warner Bros. released a promotional ad on Tuesday that highlights opposing social‑media reactions and urges audiences to “Decide for yourself” as Digger reaches theaters.
- Early critical response is nearly evenly split, with the film holding about a 54 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes from roughly 89 reviews.
- Reviewers were asked not to disclose a substantial midfilm reveal, and that studio request has shaped early coverage and audience expectations.
- Critics consistently single out Tom Cruise’s radical, prosthetic‑heavy turn and Riz Ahmed’s supporting role as the film’s most discussed performances and as subjects of awards speculation.
- Digger is a big‑budget, large‑format project shot with Emmanuel Lubezki and playing in IMAX, which raises high box‑office and awards stakes for Warner Bros. when international rollout begins Sept. 30 and North American release follows on Oct. 2, 2026.
