Starring Tom Cruise, Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Jesse Plemons, Digger is a Warner Bros. comedy film that has reportedly struggled at the box office in both India and international markets.
According to the supplied trade estimates, the film has collected ₹2 crore net in India, including paid previews, through Day 7. Its reported worldwide box office collection stands at $24 million, with $10 million coming from the United States and $14 million from overseas markets.
With a reported production budget of $180 million, excluding global marketing expenses, the film faces a significant challenge in recovering its investment through theatrical earnings alone.
Here is a breakdown of Digger‘s day-wise India box office collection, worldwide earnings, production budget, break-even target, and comparisons with other Hollywood releases in India.

Digger Movie Budget and Break-Even Target
The reported production budget for Digger is $180 million, equivalent to approximately ₹1,730 crore. Global marketing expenses are estimated at an additional $100 million.

According to the supplied estimates, the film would need to generate around $350 million worldwide to reach its projected break-even target. With a reported worldwide gross of $24 million, it remains well below that benchmark.

Digger Box Office Verdict: Hit or Flop?
Digger has reportedly earned $24 million worldwide against a production budget of $180 million, with another estimated $100 million spent on global marketing.
Its reported worldwide collection remains far below the stated $350 million break-even target. In India, the film has collected approximately ₹2 crore net through Day 7, including paid previews, suggesting a weak theatrical performance in that market.
Based on the supplied estimates, Digger faces a substantial challenge in recovering its production and marketing costs through theatrical sales alone. Its final financial outcome will depend on its remaining box-office run and additional revenue from distribution, streaming, and licensing.
