Wie „Tron: Ares“ vom Netz geriet: Disney-Science-Fiction-Film wird über 132 Millionen US-Dollar verlieren

>There’s more bleeding red neon than imagined coming out of Disney‘s Tron: Ares. Deadline has learned from sources that the third chapter in the 43-year old videogame matrix protagonist story actually cost $220 million net, not the reported $170 million to $180 million that was floated out there.

>This means that the Jared Leto-Grace Lee-Jeff Bridges light cycle movie is headed for a **$132.7 million loss** after all ancillaries, that is if its final global gross smacks dead into a wall at $160 million. The Joachim Rønning directed movie counted through its second weekend yesterday a running worldwide cume of **$103 million** with a -67% second weekend domestic plummet of $11.1M.

>At a $160 million box office threshold Tron: Ares triggers $72.2 million in worldwide theatrical rentals, $37.6M in global home entertainment, close to a $100M in global home television, with an extra $5 million from airlines for a total of $214.8M in revenues. Put this up against the $220 million net production cost shot with Vancouver, Canada tax credits, a $102.5M global P&A spend with stunts at San Diego Comic-Con, touring light cycles, a laser light Nine Inch Nails concert at the LA premiere which closed down Hollywood Blvd, $10.8M in others costs and $14.2M in residuals which gets you to total costs of $347.5M. That gets us to a $132.7 million loss.
