With a current worldwide total of $139.5 million, the Jared Leto–starrer sci-fi actioner Tron: Ares now needs to outgross just one more film in global earnings to enter 2025’s top 25 highest-grossing titles, as per Box Office Mojo. As of now, the third Tron installment is just under $1 million shy of overtaking the current 25th spot holder, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy ($140.4 million). It is expected to achieve this milestone before completing its theatrical run.
However, with an estimated production budget of $180 million, breaking even at the box office appears unlikely, as Tron: Ares has yet to match its production cost. That said, the film has already outperformed several past hits and is now on the verge of surpassing Timothée Chalamet’s critically acclaimed, Oscar-nominated drama A Completely Unknown. Let’s take a look at how close Tron: Ares is to outgrossing it at the global box office.

Tron: Ares vs. A Completely Unknown – Box Office Comparison
According to the latest figures from Box Office Mojo, here’s how the two films currently stand at the global box office:
As the above numbers indicate, Jared Leto’s latest release needs to earn just around $1 million more worldwide to outgross Timothée Chalamet’s Oscar-nominated movie. At its current pace, the third Tron film is expected to hit this target before it concludes its ongoing theatrical run. The final verdict should be clear soon.
Will Tron: Ares Cross $150 Million?
As of now, Tron: Ares is approximately $10.5 million short of reaching the $150 million milestone at the global box office. Given that the sci-fi action film has already been in theaters for over a month and is now facing competition from newer releases, it appears unlikely that Tron: Ares will surpass the $150 million mark during its current theatrical run.
