Ares could cost Disney a million dollars and projections point to failure – Todo Canal

“Tron: Ares”the third film in Disney’s iconic sci-fi franchise, is surrounded by bad news before it even hits theaters. According to exclusive information from Deadlinethe film would have exceeded all expected budgets, reaching an impressive cost of US$220 millionand projections indicate that the studio could face a loss exceeding US$100 million.

A budget out of control

Until recently, it was estimated that the Tron: Ares stay between US$ 170 and US$ 180 millionbut sources linked to the production revealed that the real value is significantly higher. The result is worrying: to avoid losses, the film would need to raise at least US$352 million worldwide — something considered difficult, given the franchise’s box office history.

How Much Tron: Ares Should Lose

According to the Deadline survey, projected revenues include US$72.2 million in cinema rentals, $37.6 million in home entertainment, $100 million in global TV distribution e US$5 million from airline ticketstotaling approximately US$214.8 million.
Even with this significant amount, the production cost and marketing expenses exceed revenue, resulting in a estimated net loss of US$132 million.

Possible causes of failure

The publication also points out reasons for the expected disappointing performance. THE Tron: Ares script it would have been considered “not very effective” and unable to create an emotional connection with the audience. In a competitive genre like Science fictionthe film should have achieved the same impact as titles like there (2021) or Blade Runner 2049which apparently did not happen.

Furthermore, the distance of more than a decade since Tron: Legacy (2010) may have weakened the general public’s interest, leaving the new film restricted to the franchise’s most loyal fans.
