Given its post-credits scene, it's clear Disney has serious plans to follow up Tron: Ares with a sequel. A continuation may no longer be on the cards, though, thanks to the sci-fi's disappointing opening weekend at the box office, a new report has suggested.
The new movie, which cost $180 million to make and stars Jared Leto as the titular AI program, pulled in just $33 million in the US during its first few days in theaters, falling short of its $40-50m projections. As The Hollywood Reporter points out, it took an additional $27 million overseas, culminating in a global start of $60.2m. For comparison, Tron: Legacy, its predecessor, earned $44m domestically upon its release in December 2010.
