With an MLB playoff game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Seattle Mariners, and 12 NFL games today, Disney‘s Tron: Ares isn’t popping a wheelie this weekend, slowing down to a $33.5M 3-day, and $60.5M global debut. Originally, it was expected that the Jared Leto movie would clear $40M-$45M domestic, $80M-$90M global.
Essentially, the audience didn’t expand on this 43-year old Disney sci-fi franchise to the young-ins, with only 30% under 25 attending. That said, people chose to see the movie in a premium format with 67% coming from PLF screens, Imax, 3D, ScreenX or DBox. The 3D theaters alone yielded 31%. Imax at $6.6M delivered 20%. Disney has Imax for another week on the movie, and 3D for the entire run.
