**Digger**, the upcoming satirical black comedy from Alejandro G. Iñárritu starring Tom Cruise as an oil tycoon racing to avert a global disaster he unleashed, enters the final stretch before its September 22 world premiere and October 2 wide release. Trader sentiment on its eventual Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer reflects the film’s strong industry pedigree—Iñárritu’s history of critical acclaim, a high-profile ensemble including Riz Ahmed, Sandra Hüller, John Goodman, and Jesse Plemons, and Warner Bros./Legendary’s auteur-focused campaign—balanced against the inherent risks of a dark satire that could divide critics. Recent catalysts include the release of multiple trailers and a first clip, early media coverage of Cruise’s transformative performance, and the royal premiere announcement, all of which have sustained pre-release buzz without yet generating verified reviews. Press screenings are expected imminently, with the score likely crystallizing shortly after the London debut.
