A new rumor alleges that The Walt Disney Company will retire the Tron series from the big screen after Tron: Ares’ box office bomb.This Substack is reader-supported.
When you look at the numbers for LEGHACY and include post box office income like blu ray and DVD sales, it may have broken even after all. It's hard to say b/c bythenumbers doesn't say if the estimated 200 million is production budget only or not and I find it unlikely for a 2010 movie to have a 200 million production budget but I can see production and marketing equaling that much ion 2010.
All those idiots needed to do was to continue the story laid out by LEGACY.
I remember as a kid (I was 9 in 1982) being so excited to see the original Tron, but I think it was just a bit too sophisticated for the average audience. Now it is ironically a bit too unsophisticated. You run across an occasional arcade in the wild (mostly in malls), but it's an idea that had its time. And that time has passed away. It doesn't help that the fans of Tron (mostly in their 50s or older) aren't really going to buy into the politics of this latest movie. They scaled back the identity politics a bit, but it's pretty clear that they really just wanted to make a diverse character the lead. Beyond that, they didn't have much of a story.
So, they're done ruining it. Next franchise to ruin!
They want to get their hands on Back To The Future so badly.
I'm calling the Black Cauldron. Second to ruin The Last Unicorn.
Why do films even hire Jared Leto?
He produced it
Only Disney can so repeatedly screw things up.
