Disney’s box office dud Tron: Ares is inching closer to surpassing the ultimate action classic starring Bruce Willis – Die Hard. This will be a significant achievement for the Jared Leto-starrer. It is good for its morals amid the disappointing box office run. Keep scrolling for the numbers.
The film features an ensemble cast comprising Jared Leto, Jeff Bridges, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Jodie Turner-Smith, Hasan Minhaj, Arturo Castro, and Gillian Anderson. Despite such an amazing and talented cast, the film fails to entertain the fans and emerge as a box office success.
According to Box Office Mojo’s latest data, Disney’s Tron: Ares’ box office collection dropped below the $100k mark on this Thursday as it earned just $89k at the domestic box office. The film dropped by 56.7% from last Thursday, bringing the domestic total to $72.10 million.
Internationally, the performance is even worse for this sci-fi flick. It collected just $68.23 million at the overseas box office after thirty-five days. Allied to the domestic cume of $72.1 million, the worldwide gross reached $140.3 million. It is tracking to hit the $150 million mark this weekend and in the upcoming week.
