With Heart of the Beast, David Ayer isn’t just back — he’s leading. And Brad Pitt, as always, knows how to make an entrance.

Ben Affleck’s new Netflix thriller Animals has earned a 44% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes—the lowest in the platform’s history.

Despite being No. 1 on Netflix’s US chart, the movie marks a rare stumble in Affleck’s directorial career.

With a $19 million budget, Other Mommy is projected to gross $28 million domestically over opening weekend—beating Aaron Sorkin’s The Social Reckoning. It outperformed Insidious: Out of the Further ($25.1M) and even Obsession ($17.2M).

The Social Reckoning opened with a whimper. Just $650k from Thursday previews in North America—less than a million, and barely enough to justify the $7m opening weekend it once seemed poised for.

Alejandro G. Iñárritu says his $125 million Tom Cruise film Digger was originally titled Blah, Blah, Blah, a dig at the human tongue's power to distort reality, before Warner Bros. went with the oil baron's surname instead.

Warner Bros’ newest venture, the black‑comedy Digger starring Tom Cruise, is projected to earn less than $15 million in its U.S. debut, prompting fears of a $100 million loss after a tepid critical response and a $125 million budget.

Tom Cruise's Digger sits at a 51% Tomatometer score from 109 reviews as it heads into a global rollout, with critics split on the Iñárritu film's tone even as they praise Cruise's performance.

Warner Bros rolled out a controversial promo for Tom Cruise’s climate satire Digger, showcasing opposing Twitter comments. The film, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, currently holds a 54% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, sparking a heated online debate.
