Ben Affleck defends Tom Cruise’s Digger, warning that mocking ambitious films leads studios to make safer, soulless ones.

Wildwood’s $100 million budget is the biggest question mark in its path to theatrical survival. The stop-motion epic, directed by Travis Knight and released via Fathom Entertainment, opens October 23 — not against a superhero tentpole, but a DC horror film with a stronger opening forecast. Box Office Theory projects a domestic debut between $5–10 million. That’s not a failure. It’s a warning sign.

As real-world tech catches up to Black Mirror’s dystopian visions, the show’s old episodes feel less like fiction and more like cautionary records. With Season 8 in production, the question isn’t whether the series will stay sharp — it’s whether we can still stop watching.

The film, which stars Cruise as Bill Harford, a doctor whose life unravels after his wife (Nicole Kidman) confesses a fantasy about infidelity, isn’t a spy movie. It’s not even really a thriller in the traditional sense. But it is tense. It’s claustrophobic. It’s full of long, slow walks through snow-laden New York streets, masked parties, and men who speak in riddles.
