After the premiere TRON: AresDisney suffered one of its biggest setbacks this year by releasing a film that would turn into a loss. The film has only been in theaters for two weeks, but is doing very poorly at the box office. So much so that La Casa del Raton is already fearing the worst. headed by Jared Letothe project sought to revive the well-worn cult sci-fi saga. But instead of achieving this, they drove him even deeper into the hole. A blow from which it will be difficult to recover.
And after the second weekend the collection TRON: Ares worldwide it barely reaches $103 million. Of these, only 54 million come from the US domestic market. These numbers are bad and will get worse because the drop from the opening weekend was a painful 67%. Based on this data, Disney suggests that the losses TRON: Ares They will be very big.
According to the latest report deadlinecity budget TRON: Ares It will amount to 220 million dollars (previously it was about 170-180 million). To this we must add advertising costs. And if this is not enough, then we must also take into account that approximately half of the collection belongs to cinemas. This forces Disney to face TRON: Ares to losses $132.7 million.
That is, according to the source, if at some point it reaches the 160 million fundraising barrier, which is not even guaranteed. In short, the film is a fiasco that will cause a lot of tension within the company and we will see if anyone takes responsibility. TRON: Ares It was a risky bet due to the large budget, and the coin came up heads with some pretty serious economic losses. And all this in a year where Disney doesn’t have much excitement beyond a successful remake Lilo and Stitch.
Disney will cancel TRON 4
With losses revealed TRON: Aresdoubts are becoming less and less. Disney is not going to greenlight a sequel. At the end of the third part, the door was left open for a new sequel. TRON 4. But a few days ago it emerged that La Casa del Ratón considers this project increasingly unlikely given the film’s poor reception. By the second weekend, the numbers prove them right, and now we can say goodbye.
“Close sources claim that THRONE will probably leave the big screen,” they said at the end of last week. Apparently, TRON: Ares and his millions of losses completely killed the saga THRONEwhich, if continued at some point, will do so via streaming. Given the current climate in cinema, bringing a new film back to theaters is an almost impossible scenario.
