Overview
- Verity opened at number one this weekend with an estimated $32.6 million in North America and roughly $62.5–62.6 million worldwide, industry trackers report.
- Audience polling showed mixed word‑of‑mouth for Verity with a C+ CinemaScore, about 50% 'definite recommend' on PostTrak, and an opening crowd that was roughly 78% female.
- Amazon MGM produced Verity on a reported ~$40 million budget and analysts say the film’s opening puts it on track to pass break‑even quickly despite lukewarm reviews.
- Digger earned about $8 million domestically and $20 million worldwide in its debut against widely reported production costs of roughly $125–$180 million, prompting projections of substantial losses for Warner Bros.
- The split results underline a wider industry lesson to watch for: targeted, lower‑cost films with built‑in audiences can be reliably profitable while expensive prestige projects carry steep financial risk and pressure on studio strategy.
