What was tron legacy budget




















Ticket prices were lower when American Beauty and Speed were released, and Tron: Legacy had the extra benefit of higher 3D pricing. American Beauty and Speed were extravagantly profitable. Disney has begun work on a sequel, which Kosinski is constructing with original writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. But looks are deceiving. Another pic that opened around the same time, Little Fockers , was teeming with them. Its performance certainly compares well to other 2D films that launched franchises.

It out-grossed all the films in that franchise. Beyond that, the film fed other Disney divisions. I expect that gap will grow in terms of raw dollars, but by the time Memorial Day rolls around, could start rattling off some wins. Will Holdovers Bewitch the Box Office? January 6th, So, will holdovers bewitch the box office?

The answer to that is almost guaranteed to be yes. There is almost no chance either the one wide release, Season of the Witch , or the major expansion, Country Strong , will top the chart. In fact, one could argue there's a better chance neither will reach the top five.

This is really bad news for the start of The Christmas break is just ending, but as it is normally the case, international numbers are late. We do have studio estimates for a few films, as well as last week's final numbers, which had a surprise change at the top. We'll start with this week's possible number one film. Still better than its opening here, but more inline with expectations. It didn't even get off to a better than expected start, as only one film in the top five really topped expectations.

Granted, it's incredibly early, but there are not a lot of hopeful signs for the rest of the month and double-digit declines will likely be the norm. Celebrate the New Year with Holdovers December 30th, The New Year's weekend normally has no wide releases, and that's the case this year. This means last weekend's three big hits will finish one-two-three this weekend, although they could finish in a different order.

Meanwhile, all three combined might not make as much as Avatar earned this time last year , meaning will end and will begin on a sour note. With Christmas just behind us and New Year's Day just ahead, a lot of studios are on vacation, so there are not a lot of details when it comes to box office numbers and we are stuck with studio estimates for the most part.

However, it was such a tight race that once final figures are in, it might slip to second, or even third. Its biggest market was the U. By comparison, Meet the Parents made twice that during its debut in It was a good news, really bad news weekend. Let's start with the good news. Bad news, the box office this past weekend was so bad that lost its lead over Granted, Christmas Eve landing on a Friday did have a lot to do with that, but this is still a terrible result.

It won't get better next weekend, so won't be setting the record. This weekend could be a disaster at the box office.

Not only is it likely that the biggest release will under-perform, but Christmas Eve lands on the Friday. Christmas Eve is a black hole at the box office and it basically cuts nearly a full day off the weekend. Worse still, last year was incredibly strong and it is very possible that the number one movie this year won't make as much as the third place film did last year.

It will not match its predecessors at the box office, but it should make enough internationally that it will break even, eventually. The winners of our An Early Present contest were determined and they are That is a much lower percentage than it managed stateside, but IMAX penetration is also quite a bit lower internationally.

It was a good week for The King's Speech , as it led the way for Golden Globe nominations and SAG nominations , while retaking top spot on the per theater chart. This is not bad, but given the Awards Season Buzz, I was expecting more. The weekend numbers were mixed with only one film performing really well and a few more pulling in middling numbers for this time of year. The good news is this was a weekend faster than that milestone was reached last year and the second highest in history.

There is a chance that by this time next week, will have surrendered its lead. Since Avatar was released this weekend last year, the year-on-year comparisons look bad for the industry as a whole, and looks certain to lag in tickets sold, and possibly in total revenue.

Can Tron Save the Win? December 16th, Early in the year, after the fantastic success of Avatar and Alice in Wonderland , it looked like would see more tickets sold than , and it could crush the total box office record.

That seems like a long, long time ago. Memorial Day was a disaster and, despite a few bright spots here and there, the box office has never regained its early shine. Now the question is not whether will see more tickets sold; it won't. The question is whether or not 's total box office can remain above 's pace. If Tron: Legacy is a monster hit, it could go along way to helping save a win for It's going to need to be a monster hit to keep pace with last year and the only shred of good news I can think of for is that Avatar was a relatively slow starter, when compared to its eventual run.

Today, its main purpose is to allow filmmakers to dig up the past without completely changing it, as the act of re-casting or retconning is apparently a far greater sin than an eerie digital makeover. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. But, while it looks marginally less spooky, it lacks the intent behind Legacy.

As a more precise visual recreation of Bridges, CLU feels more like a puppet than the angry, incomplete machine of the original plus, it also somehow emotes even less. The lack of fidelity becomes necessary to the distinction between Flynn and CLU, and solidifies it as one of the most fascinating uses of the tech to date. Flynn is now The Dude, and irreplaceable. The spooky, not-quite-human face of CLU becomes more conspicuous when the film contrasts him with that older, earthier, and funnier Bridges, whose newfound Zen attitude and ideological difference to CLU is made clear by the large beard and flowing white robes.

Flynn illustrates to CLU that design by algorithm and aversion to risk is a creative method incapable of the uniqueness that comes from spontaneity and the personal. CLU seeks refinement of what works, and Flynn simply hopes to facilitate change in the Grid rather than assert control over it.

The film makes it obvious which is the better option, making it an ironic, inadvertent warning at a time when the increasingly monolithic Disney itself appears hellbent on reforging visual arts in its own image. The Grid is visually distinct from practically anything else produced by Disney, all while serving as a harbinger of things to come.

But its continuing relevance comes from how it laid out a blueprint for how the company makes films to this day. Simultaneously, the thematics of its narrative practically scream as a warning against those very things it embodies.
