Mixed first reactions to Tron: Ares praise the sci-fi sequel's "stunning" visuals but criticize "vapid and inept storytelling" and "nostalgic pandering" The publication reached that figure by factoring in money spent on advertising and a host of other costs, which would bring the total spend up to $347.5 million. A potential global gross of $160 million triggers a total revenue of $214.8 million including money from theatrical rentals, home entertainment, home TV, and airlines. $214.8 million subtracted from $347.5 million is $132.7 million. Of course, this is all down to prediction work at the moment, so take it with a grain of salt, but Deadline is certainly a reliable source when it comes to the movie business. Tron: Ares has been taking quite a kicking lately, with The Hollywood Reporter indicating that the chances of a sequel may be threatened in the wake of the disappointing box office performance . The movie currently sits at 53% on Rotten Tomatoes, with our own 2.5 star Tron: Ares review verdict reading: "A serviceable blockbuster falls short of being truly fun by swapping the Grid for a real-world setting. Despite a good lead performance from Greta Lee and a great score, Ares lacks the charm and silliness of its Tron predecessors after one upgrade too many."
