saga THRONE may be living out its last days in theaters. And Disney decided to finally close the franchise after a resounding failure TRON: Ares. The film was released just a week ago, but its collections were not good at all. In the United States, it grossed just $33.2 million in its opening weekend, but grossed $60 million worldwide. The figures, although not catastrophic, were below expectations.
Ahead of the second weekend, it is not expected that TRON: Ares going to recover from the accident. In fact, a sudden fall can make the pain even more painful. For this reason, Disney is already clear that the days of the saga are numbered. At least that’s the new report from Hollywood Reporter. “Close sources claim that THRONE will probably leave the big screen,” they confirm.
The offer is clear. In a panorama in which such franchises Marvel have dropped significantly and uncertainty is taking over others such as Star warsDisney needs certainty. AND THRONEAlthough they tried, it’s not true. TRON: Ares This was the final experiment that turned out to be the most pessimistic of the study. “Some at Disney were always afraid that [al estreno] Only loyal fans came, which is not a problem Jared Letobut the problem is with the IP itself. They were right: men aged 18 to 24, the target audience, were well below the index,” the report said.
To this lack of interest in the saga we must add a poor recognition TRON: Ares critics and audiences: 53% on Rotten Tomatoes from industry professionals and a moderate B+ CinemaScore from audiences. All this, together with the general hostility caused by Jared Leto (despite an Oscar win in 2014, allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior, his box-office failures and his godly personality crushing his star status), he becomes the perfect cocktail for a film to fail. And with this, it seems, the last nail is driven into the coffin THRONE.
Will there be TRON 4?

However, the consequences TRON: Ares This was never confirmed and it all happened because the film did well at the box office. Disney left the door open for a sequel, just like in 2010, but didn’t give anything away. If the film had not lived up to expectations, the saga would have been frozen again. And after that unsuccessful premiere, we really found ourselves in such a scenario. There will be nothing but an unexpected surprise. TRON 4. Or at least not in movie theaters.
