Tron: Ares Stumbles Out of the Gate — Opens Below Morbius

Disney’s highly anticipated Tron: Ares launched to a domestic opening of $33.5 million, which might sound solid on paper — until you remember that Morbius pulled in around $39 million its opening weekend.

That underperformance puts the spotlight squarely on the film’s blockbuster ambitions and its $180 million-plus budget. Critics and analysts are already questioning whether nostalgia, visuals, and a Jared Leto leading man are enough to overcome a flat core.

The takeaway? In this era, even big IP and flashy effects can’t guarantee box office victory — audiences still demand heart, hook, and momentum.

What do you think — can Tron: Ares find its footing, or is this debut the beginning of a short circuit?
