John Goodman is finally speaking out about “Digger” flopping with critics and at the box office. During an appearance on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, the actor said all of the negative pre-release buzz for the movie effectively killed its chances of making money at the box office. “Digger” cost north of $160 million to make and only earned $15 million in its domestic box office debut. The movie has yet to cross $50 million worldwide after one month in theaters.
