Digger Rotten Tomatoes Score: How Score Predictions Work

On 8 October 2026 Rotten Tomatoes shows Digger at 51% on the Tomatometer, from 292 critic reviews, which makes it Rotten. At 10:00 US Eastern on 5 October (3:00pm UK time), the reading time of the versus prediction on that score, a copy of the page saved by the Internet Archive showed 51% from 259 reviews, below the lowest of its five answers, 60+.

Digger is Alejandro G. Iñárritu's film for Warner Bros. Pictures starring Tom Cruise, and the studio's UK site says it opened in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on 2 October 2026. The prediction on its score had answers of 60+, 70+, 75+, 80+ and 90+ and closed on 5 October. A second one, on the new Sense and Sensibility, is open. This guide explains how these predictions work, which score counts, why the timing matters and what a position can cost you.

The Short Answer

• Digger is Rotten. 150 of 292 reviews are positive, 51.4%, shown as 51%. Rotten Tomatoes labels a film Rotten below 60%.
• The reading time is what counts. The prediction read the critics' score at one moment, 10:00 US Eastern on 5 October, when the page showed 51%. That is below all five answers.
• The rules name the score. Digger's audience score, the Popcornmeter, is 72% from verified ratings, about 20 points above its critics' score. Only the number the rules name counts.
• You can lose the whole amount. A winning contract settles at 100p and a losing one at 0p, and a position that settles at 0p is lost in full.

Digger on Rotten Tomatoes

Copies of the page saved by the Internet Archive show 51% on 2, 3, 4 and 5 October, from 224, 245, 253 and 259 reviews, 52% from 285 reviews on 7 October and 51% from 292 reviews on 8 October, which is what the page itself shows. The score barely moved while the number of reviews rose by about 30%. At the reading time, 132 positive reviews out of 259 was 51.0%.

What the Score Measures

According to Rotten Tomatoes' About page, the Tomatometer is the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive. When at least 60% are positive a film is Fresh, and when fewer are, it is Rotten.

So the Tomatometer measures how many critics liked a film, not how much they liked it. A film that most critics call good but few call great can still score very high, so a threshold of 90% needs nine positive reviews in every ten, not an average mark of nine out of ten. The audience score works differently: the Popcornmeter is the percentage of fans who rate a film positively, and the two scores often differ, as Digger's 51% and 72% show.

Why the Timing Matters

A Tomatometer score is not fixed when it first appears. With a handful of reviews each new one moves the percentage noticeably, and as more arrive each one moves it less. That is why the rules give an exact date, time and time zone for reading the score. Only the score shown at that moment counts, not earlier scores or later changes: Digger's moved from 51% on 5 October to 52% on 7 October as 26 more reviews arrived, and was back at 51% on 8 October with 292 reviews, all after the reading time had passed. The rules also say what happens if the score cannot be read then.

How Thresholds and Prices Work

The Digger prediction listed several thresholds as separate answers, each with its own price between 0p and 100p, the market's estimate of how likely that answer is. If the score at the stated time reaches an answer's threshold, a contract on it settles at 100p; if it falls short, at 0p. Because the answers are thresholds, more than one can be right. Say the score is read at 84%. Then 60+, 70+, 75+ and 80+ are all right, and only 90+ is wrong. A higher threshold can only be right if every lower one is right too, so its price is usually lower, and the prices do not have to add up to 100p.

A Worked Example

Say the 80+ answer on a score prediction trades at 35p. You put 350p into it, which buys 10 contracts. The transaction fee is 2% of the stake, added on top, so it comes to 7p and 357p leaves your balance. If the score is 80% or more at the stated time, the 10 contracts settle at 100p each, 1,000p in total. If it is 79% or less, they settle at 0p and the 357p is gone. While the market is open you can sell at the current price: if early reviews are mixed and the price falls to 20p, selling gives you 200p back, a loss but a smaller one than 0p. There is no leverage and no margin call, so the most the position can cost you is the 357p you saw before confirming.

The Next Score to Watch: Sense and Sensibility

• 8 October 2026: Rotten Tomatoes shows 79% for Sense and Sensibility (2026), from 38 critic reviews, 30 positive and 8 negative. A score built on few reviews can move far more than Digger's did.
• 16 October 2026: the date Focus Features gives for the film's release.
• 19 October 2026, 10:00 US Eastern (3:00pm UK time): the prediction reads the critics' Tomatometer for the 2026 film and asks whether it is 60 or higher. Only that film's page counts, not the earlier adaptations.

Before you open any score position, read which score counts, the exact reading time and what happens if the score cannot be read. Decide what you are prepared to lose in full: the stake and the 2% fee are shown before you confirm, and together they are the most the position can cost you.

Frequently asked questions

What is Digger's Rotten Tomatoes score?

On 8 October 2026 the Tomatometer is 51% from 292 critic reviews, which is Rotten, and the Popcornmeter is 72%.

Does the audience score count in a Rotten Tomatoes prediction?

Only if the rules name it. The predictions on Digger and on Sense and Sensibility name the critics' Tomatometer, so the audience score does not count.

Does a film's Rotten Tomatoes score stay the same after release?

No. Digger's moved from 51% to 52% between 5 and 7 October as more reviews arrived, and was back at 51% on 8 October, which is why each prediction names an exact reading time.

The Bottom Line

A Rotten Tomatoes score prediction comes down to one number read at one moment: the score named in the rules, at the time in the rules. For Digger that was 51% at 10:00 US Eastern on 5 October, below every answer. Any position can settle at 0p, so only put in what you are comfortable losing. Prediction markets are entertainment with real money at stake, not a way to make money.
