Let’s not forget the greatest piece of Tron IP ever: the Tron speed tunnel on Disneyland’s Peoplemover. I loved that thing!

My son just got back from the movie with two of his friends. They all said they liked it. The theater wasn't full by any stretch but it was an early show. None of them said it was great or they loved it. But it seemed like they all had fun watching it.
Okay this made me LOL.

There were parts of the movie that I think you'd like, I specifically thought of you during some of the references. I think you'd like it yourself.

TRON Ares, like Legacy, really NEEDS to be seen on the biggest screen possible…IMAX or IMAX 3D or nothing.
Go big, or just go home.
This movie is a visual spectacle…an ‘event’ in a sense with the amazing visuals and throbbing music.
A lot of ‘whoa’ moments…and the 3D honestly adds to the whole experience and is not just being used as a gimmick.
This is just not going to have the same impact as squinting at it on a video screen at home.
The sound alone is worth the price of admission.
Just WOW…!
I loved it, but then again I am a big Tron nerd.
I am also not coming into the film with any prior knowledge of the actors or actresses in the film, so eveything is fresh and ‘in world’ to me.
Ignore the reviews…just go see it.
You can thank me later.

Agreed. I purchased my candy stash and Best Costume prize baskets today. But I have pop culture homework to do!

Just a shame they aren't doing ElecTRONica at DCA this year for hype. I'd buy you a Trontini to celebrate!
And miss out on any theatrical income?

Direct-to-streaming movies also do worse on streaming than theatrical releases.

Since when does that matter? They don’t need BO because any piece of hot garbage makes TRILLIONS on streaming now…
Or are we not doing that anymore? I hate it when I miss a goal post shift

It had an uphill climb no matter what…just like the first two did.
They have become VERY stingy in dropping a penny on much these days…it seems?
Not shy about charging them though

Turning the Tron ride red isn’t enough?

Tron: Ares earns a B+ CinemaScore, same as Legacy
That doesn't suggest the movie will have much, if any, legs and the $35-$37 million opening weekend is already below the $44 million 3-week out tracking suggested.
Box Office Mojo estimate shows $33.5 million

Definitely not. How is anyone supposed to make that relationship between a color change and new movie?
Again, I am just trying to understand why? I don’t think anyone was asking for another movie… just feels like a waste of money… but maybe I’m a biased, as I really could care less about the IP.

Box Office first pass is in for this weekend. Tron: Ares delivered $33 Million domestically.
Maybe it will help that it's Columbus Day weekend
and many folks have tomorrow off to go see this one?
On the flip side, The Hollywood Reporter is reminding readers this morning that Tron: Ares debut weekend was $10 Million less than forecasts, and likely ends the attempt by Burbank at "rebooting the franchise".

I don’t buy that for a second. That is the old farts in Hollywood trying to justify a washed up distribution model.
Just look at K-pop: Demon Hunters.
