Tron: Ares Aims for $45-$50M Opening, Leto Seeks Redemption
11 Oct
Summary
- Tron: Ares tracking for $45-$50M opening weekend
- Leto's last two films were massive failures
- Tron: Ares needs to surpass $400M to succeed

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.
