Tron: Ares Aims for $45-$50M Opening, Leto Seeks Redemption

Jared Leto's highly anticipated sci-fi film Tron: Ares is poised for a strong debut at the box office this weekend. The movie is currently tracking to earn between $45 million and $50 million in its opening weekend in North America.

This is a crucial moment for Leto, as his last two films were massive failures. Morbius, part of Sony's Spider-Man Universe, was a critical and commercial flop, with Leto even winning a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actor. The film only managed to gross $167.46 million worldwide, a far cry from the $400 million it needed to succeed.

Now, Leto is hoping Tron: Ares can turn his fortunes around. The sci-fi flick, which sees a highly advanced AI program named Ares enter the real world, has a production budget of around $180 million. To be considered a box office success, it will need to surpass $400 million globally. With the strong opening weekend projections, Tron: Ares is well on its way to achieving that goal.

Leto, known for his method acting and Oscar-winning performance in Dallas Buyers Club, has had a varied career spanning three decades. However, his recent forays into both the DC and Marvel universes have been disappointments. Fans and industry observers will be closely watching to see if Tron: Ares can finally deliver the hit Leto desperately needs.
