Tron Franchise in Limbo After Disappointing Box Office Opening
Disney's latest installment, Tron: Ares, has opened to a disappointing box office reception, grossing $33.5 million domestically and $60 million globally.
This lackluster performance has put the franchise in a state of uncertainty, leaving it in a limbo where it is neither a complete failure nor a massive success.
As
every other Hollywood studio, Disney has had its fair share of failed attempts at launching franchises, the Tron series has managed to maintain a level of cultural and financial relevance, despite not reaching the same heights as other Disney IPs.
The franchise's history dates back to the 1982 sci-fi film, with Disney attempting to revive it with Tron: Legacy in 2010, which grossed $400 million worldwide before inflation.
The inconsistent performance of the Tron films has raised questions about why Disney continues to invest in the franchise.
- Domestic opening: $33.5 million
- Global opening: $60 million
- Tron: Legacy worldwide gross: $400 million (before inflation)
Author's summary: Tron franchise uncertain after disappointing opening.
