It is already known how much money Disney will lose with ‘Tron: Ares’

The case of ‘Tron: Ares’ is worthy of study. Disney gave the green light to a third installment of a saga more popular in the collective imagination than in movie theaters. And not only that, but he showered it with a massive budget… to end up giving it the lead role. to a fairly canceled actor by society.

To make the matter even more complex, the truth is that the film is being liked by those who have gone to see it (86% positive reviews among the audience on Rotten Tomatoes). The problem is that, for the reasons stated in the first paragraph, few have gone. All of this has led to some millionaire losses for Disney that will surely be stinging in La Casa del Ratón.

A Deadline report on the financial impact of this film states first that the real budget of ‘Tron: Ares’ is even higher than the $175 million that has been talked about from the beginning. The true cost is around $220 million. Therefore, the total losses of ‘Tron: Ares’ skyrocket to almost 133 million.

A difficult year

The case of ‘Tron: Ares’ perfectly reflects Disney’s drift in 2025 in its film productionswith exorbitant budgets that have not reported any benefits. It is impossible to forget cases like those of ‘Snow White’ or ‘Elio’, but not even the UCM has given them a break, with ‘Captain America: Brave New World’, ‘Thunderbolts*’ or ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ very far from being a success like those of yesteryear in the saga.

Luckily for the company, they still have two strongholds to hold onto to make up such a complicated year: ‘Zootopia 2’ and ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ are expected to gross more than $1 billion. Even so, Disney would do well to be careful and review its policies for the coming years.
