Tron's cultural footprint is like 15% greater than the Angry Beavers. I don't know how it gets 200 million dollar budgets for its movies.

But Angry Beavers was bigger than sliced bread.

*one press conference later*

"I said it was merely bigger than a slice of bread!"

This movie needed to

1) come out like 2 years after Legacy, when milking franchises from the 80s was still a big thing.
2) Continue the story of Sam and Quorra, not something that feels like a reboot to the reboot
3) Not have Jared Leto.

Peak 80s was 40 years ago, the people who lived through them as an 18 to early 30s year old are now approaching fucking 70. If we should be doing any milking of old shit it should be the mid 90s to real early 00s for some Freddie Prince Jr and Rachael Lee Cook She's All That 2. Make em high school teachers or some stupid shit.

I remember when Tron:Legacy came out, there was an editorial writer on Box Office Mojo, who was bitching that the movie did as well as it did, because Disney was delusional to think that anyone cared about Tron and they just got lucky.

Tron Legacy was generally considered to be pretty profitable wasn't it? I think Disney was expecting it to be one of those near billion hits and made like 450 mill, but it still easily cleared its budget if i recall. Can't expect the movie to make much more than that given that it was never some massive franchise and was a sequel 25 years later for a movie that was a cult hit at most.

Yeah Legacy did okay, as did the first film. These were never smash hits but they did well enough. Of course Legacy had novelty and was a holiday film which helped it immensely.

These films have their audience but kind of necessitate being expensive which makes it hard for them to be incredibly profitable smash hits. Though this seems to be looking at a ~$200 million dollar total which is half of Legacy. That is very bad!

Legacy was blue and Ares is red, so Legacy is better.

Alright guys, it's Tronnin' time!
