Mumbai, July 14 - Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise is stepping away from action spectacles for one of the most unconventional roles of his career. Warner Bros. has officially unveiled the first full trailer for Digger, the highly anticipated satirical black comedy directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu, while also confirming that the film will hit theatres worldwide on October 2, 2026, including IMAX screens. The trailer introduces Cruise as Digger Rockwell, an eccentric and immensely powerful oil magnate whose company triggers a catastrophic ecological crisis. Sporting heavy prosthetics, a potbelly, thinning grey hair, and a thick Southern accent, Cruise is almost unrecognisable in what is being described as his boldest transformation since Tropic Thunder. The film follows Rockwell's desperate race to convince the world that he can still save humanity before the disaster he unleashed spirals out of control. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed and co-written by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Digger boasts an impressive ensemble featuring Jesse Plemons, Sandra Hüller, Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Sophie Wilde, Emma D'Arcy, Robert John Burke, and Burn Gorman. The film has been shot entirely in VistaVision, with Iñárritu describing it as a "comedy of catastrophic proportions" that blends satire, drama, and spectacle. The trailer has generated widespread discussion online, with many praising Cruise's dramatic physical transformation and predicting that the performance could become a major awards contender. After spending nearly a decade headlining the Mission: Impossible and Top Gun franchises, Digger marks Cruise's first major original, non-franchise film in years, making it one of Hollywood's most anticipated releases of 2026.

Mumbai, July 13 - The global box office has witnessed a historic milestone as Michael, the biographical drama based on the life of pop icon Michael Jackson, has officially crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide. The achievement makes it the first-ever biopic in cinema history to reach the prestigious milestone, cementing its place among the biggest box office success stories of all time. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Driven by positive word-of-mouth and strong performances across North America, Europe, Latin America, and several international markets, Michael has continued to attract audiences weeks after its release. The film has resonated with both longtime fans of the King of Pop and younger moviegoers, resulting in remarkable legs at the global box office. Directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson as the Pop legend, Michael has grossed $372 million domestically (North America) and $629 million in the international markets so far for the worldwide cume of over $1 billion. It is the second movie of 2026 to hit the milestone of a billion dollars after Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and the 62nd film of all time to do so. Its success also highlights the enduring popularity and cultural impact of Michael Jackson's legacy. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Meanwhile, Disney's live-action adaptation of the billion-dollar toon, Moana, has failed to meet expectations. Despite carrying one of the studio's most beloved animated brands and featuring a massive production budget, the remake has struggled to generate audience interest, tanking at the box office with less than $100 million in worldwide opening weekend box office. Domestically, the Catherine Laga'aia and Dwayne Johnson-fronted adventure grossed just $43 million while its overseas debut landed at $52 million.
