Digger Is An All-Time Box Office Flop - Charts with Dan!
The budget gets the scrutiny. Dan Murrell's most watched new upload, "Digger Is An All-Time Box Office Flop - Charts with Dan!", drew about 112,000 views, and viewers are discussing the gap between an ambitious movie and the audience needed to pay for it.
Several replies argue that a smaller budget could have made the same film a more workable proposition. Others compare its spending with other major productions, while one viewer turns Cruise's familiar screen-running habit into a box-office joke. Murrell's episode also makes room for Verity's top spot and a record regained by Avengers: Endgame, so Digger isn't the whole chart conversation.
His earlier "Digger - Movie Review (Non-Spoiler & Spoiler)" remains active too, giving anyone catching up both the critical assessment and the financial postmortem. But the strongest daily momentum now belongs to "The Social Reckoning - Movie Review", his look at the Facebook follow-up written and directed by Aaron Sorkin. Sorkin wrote The Social Network, while David Fincher directed that film; this return puts Sorkin in both roles.
The third upload, "WB & Paramount Become Skydance: Latest Updates - Dan's World #44", covers what Murrell describes as the studios' move into Skydance, along with audience questions.
Subscribers were unchanged over the week, and daily viewing is currently below Murrell's usual pace. His weekly audience was larger than those of nearby commentary channels spookyastronauts and HelloGreedo, though archive channel CR's Video Vaults had a busier week. On Murrell's own shelf, the freshest point of interest is Sorkin's return to Facebook.

@jojosoniSee it on YouTubeSo basically a Tom Cruise box office hit depends on how much running he does in the film.
