So, I doubt anyone has any info on the actual machine used for the film, but could someone identify what cabinet they used for this?

Yeah fictitious game for the movie. Not real IMHO, and this looks like a Galaxian conversion.

Oh yeah, totally a prop, but I think the cab is legit. Has the same type of operator coindoor lockbar. Generally, Hollywood doesnt go for that much detail.

Speaking of coindoor, doesnt look like Bally/midway. Could it be japanese Puckman cab?

I wonder what gameplay for a Graboid game would be like?

Hope you'd get to play as the worm. :D

Believe there was a game like that? Maybe on mobile phone?

I could imagine it being liker Snake. You get bigger as you eat, you have to dodge dynamite and shit. Like Feeding Frenzy except with more explosions and carnage.
 
That is badass Rob, but would clash in a Galaxian cab. If I were to guess I would think it was probably like nibbler or slither.

Maybe like Anteater, just backwards.

Ya know, the first time I saw the Shriekers in Tremors2, I thought "Zerg rush!"

Feeding Frenzy isn't a bad one.

I think I found the titles I was thinking of:

Death Worm by ‪Play Best Free Games Inc.‬
Death Worm by Playcreek (kongregate)
Insatia
Killer Worms

Better picture of the coin door. Gawd, I do have too much time on my hands!
