Tron: Ares Poised to Outshine Smile 2 at Global Box Office

As of November 10th, 2025, the sci-fi action film Tron: Ares is on the cusp of overtaking the horror sequel Smile 2 at the global box office. With a current worldwide total of $137.5 million, Tron: Ares has already outgrossed several 2025 releases, including the John Wick spin-off Ballerina, Bong Joon Ho's sci-fi dark comedy Mickey 17, and the Smurfs movie.

However, the third installment in the Tron franchise was made on an estimated budget of $180 million, and it needs to earn around $450 million globally to break even. This target now seems virtually impossible to achieve during the film's ongoing theatrical run. Nonetheless, Tron: Ares is poised to surpass the $138.1 million earned by Smile 2, the critically acclaimed psychological horror sequel, in the coming days.

The latest Tron entry is currently trailing just behind the star-studded rom-com Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, the fourth installment in the Bridget Jones film series, by a margin of less than $3 million globally. If Tron: Ares can gain enough momentum, it may even outgross the Bridget Jones sequel in the near future.
