Tron Franchise in Limbo After Disappointing Box Office Opening
Disney's latest installment, Tron: Ares, has opened to a limp box office, earning $33.5 million domestically and $60 million globally.
The Tron franchise, spanning 43 years, has found itself in a state of limbo, being too successful to be considered a failure, yet unable to reach the heights of other Disney IPs.
Like every other Hollywood studio, Disney has had its fair share of failed attempts at launching franchises.
The first attempt to revive the franchise was with Tron: Legacy, which grossed $400 million worldwide before inflation, nearly 15 years ago.
