Tron Legacy Sequels

[Lencho01]

Someone claims to have read the script. But, they're not sure if they're allowed to say anything yet.

 

[Silvermoon]

Add me among the growing number that is disappointed in this news Stupid Disney

 

[Jaspertian1105]

Its a shame they would have to reboot it. There is no reason for it. Legacy was one of the the best visual and musical experiences in a while, regardless of character and all that stuff, it's a very stylized film to behold and very unique to other franchises. Disney pulling the plug although not surprising . Its really really disappointing, the studio that once did fantasia and didn't give a **** about profit , test audience or any of that ****, now plays it the safest way possible. They say that they take risks with gotg and all that but come on, it has the marvel brand to back it up. It wasn't as risky as people think it was. That's why you need a millionaire mongul like Disney or Lucas, that they took risks and put their own money and took the risks, regardless of the profits. Hell most of the animated movies from Disney didn't make a lot in the BO but he didn't care, he just wanted to fulfill a vision regardless the results. There's is not a guy like that in Hollywood anymore, its all run by scary, greedy and brain less people. The industry feels wrong now, that a thing like mad max is on the movie theater's its almost too bizarre

WB was counting on nostalgia factor to give it an edge.

 

[mclay18]

Realy? I actualy enjoyed Caspian much more, and Dawn Treader just felt too corny for me, expecialy that last Aslan scene which kinda works like christian propaganda.

I liked the final 10 minutes of the third film, save for Aslan's final line. But Tilda Swinton elevated it. She wasn't in those movies enough IMO.

Disney cares about money/profit because they are a billion dollar company/business/conglomerate.

It would really be stupid if they stopped caring about profits. All businesses care about profit, if they didn't they wouldn't last long

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

stupid Disney

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I liked Keira and Orlando's characters but clearly they were not needed for the sequel. Keira was off raising her kids and Orlando was captaining the flying dutchman.

I think the bigger problem was their replacements Sam Caflin and mermaid girl were not interesting.

The problems with the series started in earnest with the switch of focus onto Jack.

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

I really would like to have a third Tron movie...
Now we have to wait way longer...

 

[Asteroid-Man]

So Tron Legacy's budget was $170m and it brought in $178m domestically plus $228m worldwide to a total of $400m. It wasn't a success domestically, but internationally it was a success. Overall, the film more than doubled its budget.

Comparatively, Batman Begins had a $150m budget and brought in $205m - still by no means a "success", but factor in world wide budget and it brought in $374m.


Batman Begins also had better marketing than Tron: Legacy, and still, Tron Legacy was a bigger success. Because it was well received by those who DID see it and with the brilliant marketing of TDK, The Dark Knight made 4x its budget domestically and a BILLION dollars internationally.

Although the film didn't do well domestically, it was a hit internationally and it was well enough received to set the foundation for a bigger sequel. ****ing Disney...

Exactly, there are plenty of movies that made less and got sequels, they had big budgets as well, BB was one, X-Men First Class was another and there are plenty more.

 

[Jekecy]

You guys are failing to account that while BB's total domestic run was "ok", it did so with a phenomenal multiplier (after a weak opening weekend). Along with the positive reviews, tremendous word of mouth, above standard DVD sales, and the fact that Batman is a proven property, it was enough to greenlight TDK.

Tron does not have the clout or the forward momentum Batman Begins had. I'm fairly sure the execs who run a multi-billion dollar company know the potential of their own product and had several well-paid analysts compare the prospects of a sequel versus letting it go.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Tron Legacy had good legs because of the holidays and lack of competition. It was not as well regarded as BB and First Class as a film and it didn't make enough for Disney to ignore it's reception. If it had done Cinderella numbers and or one of the stars became a huge deal I think a sequel would definitely have happened.

 

[TheVileOne]

The marketing actually wasn't that great for Batman Begins and IMHO a lot of people before it came out didn't understand what it was supposed to be.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

The marketing for Tron was way better and more extensive than it was for BB. I remember, Disney practically marketed that film for an entire year, they shoved it in everyone's face.

 

[TheVileOne]

There was a huge campaign for the movie and it still under-performed. It's not surprising because they were hesitant to make the sequel for this long. The heart was clearly not there.

It seems to be the same business for Sherlock Holmes 3.

 

[dark_b]

i dont know if there was any better way to market Tron Legacy. the marketing style was visually attractive and unique IMO

good realese date plus almost perfect marketing. everyone knew when and what it was getting in the theater. thats the max what Tron 2 could make at the BO

 

[TheVileOne]

They tried, but at the end of the day it was still a sequel to a very cult-ish and weird first movie that came out almost 30 years earlier.

Also, IMHO, the movie and marketing campaign failed to really capitalize on the evolving digital age and technical innovations.

This is so far off. Batman Begins was a big success in the end, because it never went away. It had great reviews, great legs and some all time DVD sales. It showed that the more people that saw it loved it. That laid the ground work for TDK.

I don't know the exact numbers, but my money would be on Batman Begins selling more tickets then Tron Legacy, which had the benefits of 3D, inflation and a stronger international market.

Bingo.

I was literally just about to type something along those lines.

THe same could basically be said in regards to First Class too. First Class was really well liked almost all around. TL has/had a very meh reception from what Ive seen. It seems more like a cult film.

I enjoy it though. Have the blu ray and the soundtrack

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I like Tron Legacy. Probably more then it deserves. The performances, look and score won me over even with the poor writing and lack of story. And you know what, I think most, even those that are big fans, agree. It isn't a great film, but it did enough things right to be enjoyable. A chance to see Wilde back in the role is enough for me to desire a sequel.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Disney does not care about Tron people.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Disney does not care about Tron people.

Well Tron people aren't actual people. They're programs.

 

[Black Narcissus]

And yeah, Wilde has a combination of bad luck and a bad agent. Woman has it all, and look what she gets stuck with.

Is this the TMobile gal?

 

[Black Narcissus]

Well Tron people aren't actual people. They're programs.
