After raking in a modest $33.2 million in its first three days, the Jared Leto-starrer sci-fi actioner Tron: Ares has crossed the $100 million mark at the global box office. However, with a current worldwide total of $104.1 million, it seems unlikely that the third installment in the Tron series will reach its break-even point. To achieve that, the film must earn an additional $345.9 million globally to hit the massive $450 million target, based on the 2.5x multiplier rule and its $180 million production budget.
As of now, Tron: Ares is closing in on a spot among the top 30 highest-grossing titles of 2025, as per Box Office Mojo, having already surpassed the worldwide totals of several popular films of the year, including The Accountant 2, The Naked Gun, and A Working Man. Notably, the film’s also on the verge of surpassing the lifetime earnings of Christopher Nolan’s critically acclaimed yet often overlooked sci-fi psychological mystery thriller, The Prestige (2006). Here’s how much Tron: Ares needs to earn more to outgross it.
