Ares’ Bombing at Box Office

Jared Leto is getting torn to shreds in Tinseltown after the humiliating opening of his Disney flop Tron: Ares, but insiders reveal the egomaniac is living in total denial.

“This movie was a complete bomb, but don’t expect Jared to take a shred of the blame,” says a Hollywood insider.

The futuristic sequel cost a whopping $180 million to make, but crashed and burned on opening weekend, bringing in just $60 million worldwide — making it one of the biggest duds of the year.

Now industry experts are branding the 53-year-old actor as box office poison.

“You see this pattern a lot with Jared, where he escapes the scene of the crime in a puff of smoke because he doesn’t want to get blamed for a bona fide box office disaster,” says a source.

According to the source, the troubled production was a passion project for Jared, who reportedly earned a seven-figure salary on top of a massive producer fee.

“Tron: Ares was his idea going back to 2017,” says the insider. “It’s going to lose tens of millions, but you do not see him taking any accountability. His absurd level of self-confidence has been his secret weapon since he was barely in his 20s.”

“Jared shuts the noise out. He’s already banking on next summer’s Masters of the Universe movie, where he plays Skeletor, to rescue his reputation. Even if that doesn’t happen, it won’t make a dent in Jared’s massive ego.”

Amazingly, the Thirty Seconds to Mars rocker sees moviemaking as a “hobby,” says the source, and with a net worth of $90 million he’s got plenty of dough.

“He still makes tons of money as a rock star on top of all his big movie salaries,” notes the insider.

Meanwhile, as Globe previously reported, Jared’s off-screen rep is in the toilet, with multiple women, including several who were underage at the time, accusing him of sleazy and predatory behavior.

Musician Allie Teilz, now 31, claims he “forced himself” on her when she was 17 and he was 39.

Leto denies any wrongdoing, but the disgusting allegations are another ugly blemish on his crumbling track record.
