i saw it last night at midnight!!! im going to see it again Sat though cause i totally fell asleep through half of it LOL - no fault of the movie of course, i was just totally exhausted haha. I actually started falling asleep waiting for the movie to start!
BUT! what i do remember of it was - it BLEW MY MIND visually and musically! You HAVE to go see this on a REAL (read: HUGE HUGE HUGE) IMAX screen in 3D...a must!!!
I can't comment on the story, but its worth it even if you just go for the sensory mind-you know what.

I will be going tomorrow morning to see it on IMAX 3D. I wanted to do the midnight premiere but things did not go as planned around the Yoda household last week.

Just saw it.
Definitely an improvement on the first film, but MAN did this thing drag. Two of the people I was with fell asleep at times. You could probably cut 40 minutes out of this movie and have a really snappy action film.
Soundtrack was great, though, and the lightcycle battle (which of course is the whole point of a Tron movie) did not disappoint.

It's really great, and the IMAX 3D experience is not something to miss...the soundtrack is a different story, though.

I noticed this one was 30 minutes longer than the original. Wonder why they thought they had to make it so long?
It apparently made $17.4 million on Friday (don't know if that includes the $3.5 million from midnight screenings). I've also noticed the soundtrack has been a best selling album on itunes since its release, last I checked at the #2 spot.
Saw it on IMAX 3D and loved it.
Ont thing I must have is a wallpaper quality image of the Tronified Sleeping Beauty Castle from the opening credits. So far no luck in finding one.

That would be good to have, along with a Disney fireworks show that uses lights on the castle to replicate that look and Daft Punk's music.
Saw it in IMAX 3D too (in a packed theatre) and liked it alot.

$43 million for the opening weekend estimates. That's not what Disney was expecting at all... :lookaroun

I'm sure they were hoping for much higher. Anybody know the production budget?

The production budget was $170 according to Box Office Mojo with another $100+ million for marketing. This movie will have to make around $600 million worldwide to recover the costs.
So far its made $66.6 million worldwide, debuting at #1 in all released locations, but half the foreign market hasn't seen the movie yet.

Worth it in IMax 3D. Good movie, not great.

170. They also made 23 overseas, so gross right now is just under 67.
This movie was amazing...the begining was very Batman-ish. Otherwise, IMAX 3D with Bose Bass Seat Boosters made this one of the best movie going experience I have had in a long time. I am a massive daft punk fan, and love electronica, so the soundtrack was world class. The pace and length were great, short movies are never fun.
I love how, once Sam entered the grid they never went back to what was happening in our world. A lot of movies do that, we're they blend reality with what is going on in a cyber/dream world... ala Inception.

For comparison avatar took in $77 mill world wide opening weekend.
I say it's a good pull, they'll easily make $500 million. I think Disney is banking on the huge fan appeal and offset it with merchandise, special edition DVDs, and such.

Weekend actuals in now: $44 million domestic, $23 million foreign for a rounded $67 million worldwide.

Just got back, I really enjoyed it! Really a movie for the senses, beautiful visuals, amazing sound, and awesome Daft Punk score. Sure the story was a little weak, but it was still a thousand times better than Avatar's. :lol:
