The movie also failed to woo foreign audiences, earning only $27 million abroad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The $60 million opening weekend comes against a movie budget of $180 million, underlining that <em>Tron: Ares <\/em>didn\u2019t even recoup its production expenses. The $180 million price tag reportedly does not include the marketing budget for the movie, reducing its profit even further.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The special effects spectacle performed well on large screens such as 3D and IMAX, and was rated well overall by audiences, gaining an 87% audience score on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/opinion\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Rotten Tomatoes;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>. However, it failed to gain a new audience outside of fans of the franchise, even among its target demographics. It was projected to make almost $50 million domestically, and there was a lot of optimism about the foreign box office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Despite doing so dismally, <em>Tron: Ares<\/em> blew away the competition. The next highest-grossing new release this past weekend was Channing Tatum\u2019s <em>Roofman<\/em>, which only took in $8 million from being on 3,340 screens nationally. The third, <em>Kiss of the Spider Woman<\/em>, starring Jennifer Lopez, didn\u2019t even break $1 million. Overall, it was just a bad weekend for new releases.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/vIresrRWZzeP2F11BxrATw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/b9f3f38667afc9ed68f46ab22ab8d7b1\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If there is anything that will save <em>Tron: Ares<\/em> from obscurity, it will be the loyalty of franchise fans. The other Tron movies didn\u2019t do well at the box office either, but the 1982 original collected such a cult following that it helped propel <em>Tron: Legacy<\/em> when it came out in 2010.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The latest installment has all the things that make a Tron movie: incredible special effects, a deep philosophical question about man versus machine, a killer soundtrack by a notable electronic composer (in this case, Nine Inch Nails), and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/jeff-bridges\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Jeff Bridges;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Jeff Bridges<\/a> as Kevin Flynn.
