‘Verity’ topped the box office this weekend.
‘Digger’ stumbled into third.
‘Resident Evil’ clung to second place.

Warner Bros.’ year box office woes continued as Tom Cruise’s latest film –– a pivot from the action fare that has served him well recently –– failed to find its audience after a lot of negative reviews and dodgy buzz. To put it simply, audiences didn’t dig ‘Digger,’ as the movie stumbled into fifth with $8 million.

Instead, it was up to ‘Verity,’ the psychosexual thriller adapted from a Colleen Hoover novelby director Michael Showalter to top the charts with $33.6 million.
