I don't think TRON will need a huge box office to get a ride. And a box office won't sway anyone in wanting to ride a cool ride, which its supposed to be.
I'm pretty positive DL will get a TRON ride in the next big DL expansion. A TRON ride hasn't just been planned for a while, but a TL expansion for DL has been planned for a long time. And I got a feeling the TRON ride is seen as THE big attraction for that expansion.

I think you're right. I don't think that the movie needs to be widely popular for people to want to ride the attraction. The new movie and the heavy advertising is just helping to make the franchise familiar again. The attraction can stand on it's own merits to become a widely popular and amazing theme park attraction.
That's not to say that I don't think Tron will have a fairly successful ride at the Box Office...I'm going to see this Friday I think. Though no one answered my question about whether IMAX 3d (non dome) or RealD 3D was a better format to watch the movie in...

+$6 mil monday.
If it averages $5 T-W-Th, that is $65 heading into the weekend, with Gulliver not taking away 3D screens until Saturday's opening. I'd say that the race to $100 mil by the end of next weekend is possible. Slight, but possible.

At least they could turn the PeopleMover tunnel through Buzz Lightyear into a speed tunnel, project the lightcycle battle onto it, and call it "WEDWay PeopleMover Thru The World of TRON"

IMAX 3D. It's amazing.
Decided for yourself
I have seen the movie. It is worth seeing. Go and see it and decide for yourself. Critics are as often wrong as they are right. Don't let someone else tell you what you will enjoy.
If they were to somehow make a ride from the movie, there are definitely elements from the film that would lend themselves to a nice dark ride.
Either way you decide.

Way to go Fockers!
Could that have just made Tron an extra $2 million?

$6.3 mil Tuesday for Tron! $56.5 million total!
I would have thought Tuesday's number would have dropped!
I think word of mouth may start pulling in those that hesitated --

More good news -- the big Christmas snowstorm across the Midwest and Northeast has started to be deleted off many big city forcasts.
Originally predicting 2-14 inches may turn into a dusting of lake effect only. Get those movie goers out on the roads!

Strike that weather report. East may get slammed, affecting up to 1/4 of the population.

That was a cool effect exclusive for those that knew the movie.
WDW used to be really good at rewarding trivial fringe movie references. I would LOVE to see more hidden in the parks.

Zombies are just people in a trance as far as origin of the term in many cultures. The term is used a lot in old 'voodoo.' It is not nearly as outlandish and insane that the second and third movies got in mythology.
As far as Tron making enough and being popular enough to have an attraction based on it...does it really matter? Even if it was (which it does not look like it is going to be) Disney parks only build attractions when attendance seems to be flat or calls for it. It is how we got the fantasyland expansion due to the lot of national and worldwide attention going to Potter.
With inflation in check they will be lucky if Tron is domestically as popular as Enchanted, put that in perspective.
Actually, Tron has already made about half of Enchanted's domestic box office in less than 1 week of release so don't count it out just yet.
BEGIN RANT: I don't really understand why the Disney community is being so critical/pessimistic about Tron's box office success.
I find it a little hypocritical that these criticisms are targeted only at Tron when we could very well apply them to Tangled as well but instead Tangled is hailed as a success. In fact, if we applied this same logic to Tangled, it should be labeled as a flop taking into consideration that it is the 2nd most expensive film ever made and also that it won't make back it's budget solely from it's domestic run. (Personally, I liked both films and think they are both great successes for Disney) END OF RANTSucks. Well the good news is that the heavy rain storms on the West coast, that might have prevented people from going to see it on the weekend, have finally ended.
