The movie ‘Tron: Ares’, starring Jared Leto, has become a resounding financial failure for Disney, generating estimated losses of 132.7 million dollars. With a budget of 220 million and an additional 102.5 million in advertising, the total investment rises to 347.5 million dollars, a figure that, far from being recovered, shows bleak expectations at the box office.

In search of a successful project

And it is that ‘Tron: Ares’ may not even reach 160 million dollars in revenue, considering that it has only grossed 103 million so far. Adding other potential revenues, such as sales rights in the physical and digital market, as well as its airing on platforms and airlines, experts estimate that the film will generate approximately 214.8 million dollars. This difference results in a significant loss that reaffirms doubts about the future of the lucrative science fiction saga.

This failure adds to the growing bad reputation of Jared Leto at the box office, who has not achieved a significant success since ‘Suicide Squad’. His most recent project, ‘Morbius’, became a notable failure, further damaging his image as a leading actor in big-budget productions. However, Leto has a chance for redemption with his role as Skeletor in the upcoming film ‘Masters of the Universe’, directed by Travis Knight, a project that is generating expectations in the realm of fantasy and science fiction.

As ‘Tron: Ares’ makes its way through theaters, the losses are already evident and the future of the franchise seems uncertain. The industry is watching closely to see how Disney reacts to this financial disaster and the impact it will have on the studio’s upcoming projects.

The franchise ‘Tron’ is preparing for a new chapter with the release of its third film, titled ‘Tron: Ares’, scheduled to hit theaters on October 10, 2025. Although the story of ‘Tron’ began in 1982 and the sequel ‘Tron: Legacy’ was released in 2010, it has been more than a decade since a new installment was announced. This delay has generated anticipation and, at the same time, doubts among fans.

What’s up, Tron

Despite the fact that ‘Tron’ was initially considered a failure, it managed to gross 50 million dollars against a budget of 17 million, which turned it into a cult classic over the years. For its part, ‘Tron: Legacy’ grossed nearly 410 million dollars, but the losses in production and marketing led Disney to reconsider future investments in the franchise.

Joachim Rønning, the Norwegian director known for his work on the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ saga, took over the direction of ‘Tron: Ares’ after Joseph Kosinski’s departure. The cast is mostly new, with the inclusion of Jeff Bridges and Jared Leto, who will play Ares, a computer program that crosses from the digital world to the real one to facilitate humanity’s first contact with beings created by artificial intelligence.

However, the choice of Leto as the lead has sparked some controversy, especially after the commercial failure of ‘Morbius’, which has fueled doubts about his ability to carry a blockbuster like ‘Tron: Ares’. Despite these concerns, the extensive cast that includes Greta Lee, Evan Peters, and Jodie Turner-Smith adds additional interest to the proposal.

As the release date approaches, all eyes are on Disney’s marketing campaign and how the narrative will unfold in this new digital universe. ‘Tron: Ares’ could become a revaluation of the saga or a new stumble, an uncertain outcome that many film enthusiasts will be watching closely.
