So much so that in La Casa del Ratón they already fear the worst. headed by Jared Letothe project aspired to revive the battered cult science fiction saga. But, instead of achieving this, they have sunk it even further into the hole. A blow from which it will be difficult to recover.

And, after its second weekend, the collection of TRON: Ares it barely reaches 103 million dollars worldwide. Of them, only 54 million are from its domestic market of the United States. These figures are bad and they are going to get worse because the drop compared to the opening weekend has been a painful 67%. With these data, Disney assumes that the losses of TRON: Ares They are going to be very big.
