TRON: Legacy Makes $3.5 Million at Midnight

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=72500

It's being reported that Walt Disney Pictures' TRON: Legacy, directed by Joseph Kosinski, has grossed an estimated $3.5 million from its midnight screenings last night with 25% of that amount coming from screenings in 228 IMAX theaters, which is reportedly the largest percentage for midnights.

According to Deadline, that percentage of IMAX to non-IMAX at midnight is higher than that for James Cameron's Avatar, Christopher Nolan's Inception and Jon Favreau's Iron Man 2. While it's doubtful that TRON: Legacy will be able to break the $11.8 million IMAX weekend record set by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 last month, its midnight showing is a good sign that the movie's doing healthy business going into its opening weekend.

Just a few more hours until I get to see it in IMAX 3D :woot:
 
A question regarding the ending:

The whole ending goes by so quick that I'm not sure if I misheard something. Does Sam Flynn say something to Alan about seeing Jet at the office? I never played Tron 2.0 but I have read about Alan's son Jet in that game, and when watching Legacy, I thought that I heard Sam say that.

EDIT: Nevermind. Saw it again. Thought he said "Meet Jet at Encom monday morning" but now realize he said "Need'ya at Encom..."

do you guys think this film warrants a sequel??

because i say yes! don't really want to get on that right now because some people have not seen the movie yet
 
Just got back from the IMAX 3D showing.

While I liked the film, I was not blown away except for one scene, the disc fight scene. It's so well shot, and so well choreographed, even the camera got to play with your head a little as they're shifting gravity and planes. The problem is, it's the first big action scene in the film, and that scene alone couldn't carry through the entire movie. Also, Rinzler was just a sheer force, watching his choreagraphy and body language was a treat, he stole every scene he was in. Daft Punk's theme for him blasting in IMAX as the crowd was cheering for him gave me chills.

As I say the disc game was the highlight, I have to regrettably say that I was bored to death by the light cycle game, as well as the climactic aerial dog fight. As limitless as the world was, I wished they had come up with some better action set pieces.

As for acting, I wouldn't say anyone gave a weak performance. We could have used more curious and giddy Quorra. Loved Wilde in the movie.

As for Clu's visual effects, at times it's wonderful, at most times, just a distraction. The best work IMO were the shots of him in bright lighting.

While I may seem overly negative, I do not regret spending 11 bucks.
 
LOVED IT.

But I have a question.........

Why did Tron turn good at the end and want to save them? It did seem like he tried to shake the idea out of his head. Maybe I missed something......

He helped them because he got a flashback of him saving Kevin, it signifying him being more self-aware and becoming a free program again.

Tron's fate being left ambiguous and Cillian Murphy playing a shady businessman who also happens to be the son of the first movie's villain definetly indicate that yes, there is a potential sequel in mind.

wait?! Cillian murphy was ed dillinger, jr.?
 
you know what thats bull-.... why does Avatar get away with having a dry story and pure visuals ...but something 'cool' like tron cant? and Tron had even more creative visuals.

whats wrong with just pure spectacle?

this is pretty much 28 years ago all over again.. and why this movie will be a cult classic too lol

and this movie had just as many disc battles and lightcycle scenes as the original if not more.

i realllly hope this makes money and gets a sequel
 
Wanted to like it.

Didn't like it.

The good
Great visuals
The score was good...the closing credits music stayed in my head while I was walking out.
Olivia Wilde...very hot.
Movie popcorn was great.

The bad
The script-I didn't really care what was going on and nothing in the movie tried to make me care.
The dialog-Cheese, cheese, cheese.
The acting-I guess Bridges will get a pass from some people but not from me. He sucked too. (I assume he'll do better next week in True Grit)
The CGI "Dude"...lifeless, soul-less...creepy. That includes the scenes where it was supposed to be a young Bridges.

Quite possibly the biggest collection of cliche characters I've seen in years. They just kept coming. Was this supposed to air on the Disney Channel? It felt exactly like one of those movies. I was expected Zac Efron to show up any second.

Yucky...

2/10 :down

Avatar is just overrated because it's James Cameron, if I were 5 years old I'd probably be giddy about it.

Todays generation who are inundated with mindless video games will probably complain that there wasn't more disc battles or lightcycle races when the original didn't have that many of them either.

For me I liked the movie, the visuals were awesome and brougt back memories of the kid in me as the first Tron did, even the music by Daft Punk was good in it too.

Maybe it was my theater but the music was so loud that the dialogue at times was hard to hear.
 
Don't know if it's been explained but is it possible that the events in the first Tron had inspired Kevin Flynn ideas to merchandise the characters? since later in the arcade we see Sam going into the secret entrance that's behind a Tron arcade console.
 
A lot of people are saying the story is crap, so what's wrong with it?
