There might be enough room for a Tron 3 during the holiday seasons of 2013, 2014 and 2015, now that Harry Potter will no longer be taking up the Thanksgiving spot. If the Hobbit and Avatar sequels don't come out until closer to Christmas and Tron took Thanksgiving it would have a good month before those films came out. It would be cool to see a Tron 3 by the holiday season of 2012 but that might be rushing things.abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

Disney made the right choise. They made sure the toys and soundtrack were available at the right time. The stigma of the original film actually hurt box office take. I don't like it, but it's a fact. Just look at the negative reaction to the black eyed peas half time show. It was an up hill battle from the start, but we've done very well. We have a whole new generation of fans. I'm very, very happy with the results. It's not over yet. Remember, we need to root for the movie industry, not every film is our enemy. I'm happy for Mr. Bridges.

I think the film did well in that it had some obstacles to overcome. I do believe bad weather in a lot of the country hurt all ticket sales. Also, where a franchise like Harry Potter or Transformers is essential critic proof, meaning that even if the reviews are bad it will make a ton of money anyway, Tron didn't have that luxury, it was still an unknown to a lot of people who looked to the critics to see if it was worth the money to go see. I think the reviews were unfair but unfortunately i think they hurt the opening weekend take. What helped is that a lot of people who did go loved it and told their friends. I think that offset the reviews but I do think the critics probably kept it from passing the $200 million domestic mark. I think if the Rotten Tomatoes score had been over 70% opening weekend would have been $60 million.
The other thing that I can't decide if it helped or hurt ticket sales was the lack of availability of the original film. My sister worked at a Hastings during the holidays and she said they had one copy for rent and a waiting list a mile long. I've wondered how many people didn't go because they hadn't seen the original and since it wasn't readily available didn't bother. It seemed like Disney felt like if you weren't wowed by the film in 1982 you wouldn't be if you watched it today. They seemed to fear if they released a DVD before the movie came out it would hurt attendance. If I could go back in time I'd be tempted to organize a movement to have free screenings of the original at local libraries.
I think the fact that it had those things against it and is looking to push the $400 million mark world wide is quite the feat.
I'm hoping when Tron 3 is released we have better weather, the critics will take it more seriously because it won't have gone anywhere and and it has grown on people and moviegoers will have had the chance to watch both films because they should be both readily available.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

@OscarGungan:

However, the critics are just right in saying the film lacks of a good story telling and a slightly better and deeper story as well. I mean, the effects and the score can be masterpiece-like but when the story can not even compete with the original TRON, then I really do understand most critics opinion.
Most of them loved the VFX and the score but most of them did not like the way the story was presented. I guess everyone agrees that it could have been way better and not that choppy and unexciting in some scenes. Therefore they rated the movie "rotten".

Great visuals + impressive score + not-so-good story = Rotten and IMDB critics rating.

I didn't have a problem with the film's story, but the critics I was referring to were the ones that claimed that the movie sucked in every possible way and there seemed to be quite a few out there that took that stance. I don't think there were many people who were indifferent to the film. I think most either really loved it or really hated it.

I get a little confused when people complain that the plot in T:L was lacking.

Sure, on the surface it seems like a standard quest film (Sam goes off in search of his dad), but if you think about it? There is quite a lot to take away from this movie if you care to look.

First there is the whole 'God - Satan' metaphor played up between Kevin Flynn and CLU.

Then there is a Hitler / Nazi parallel when CLU purges all the ISO's from the Grid because he believes them to be harming his view of a 'perfect' system.

A message warning us to stop and appreciate what we have, rather than always running off and trying to build a paradise.

I could go on, but there was quite a bit of meat to T:L I think

I do think Tron:Legacy, Avatar and District 9 are very different animals, not better or worse but different, James Cameron and Neill Blomkamp clearly had an agenda with the films they made. There were social issues they were trying to address and wrote those scripts accordingly. I believe the creators of Tron:Legacy had more of a goal of let's take people on a ride simply for the pleasure of going on a ride. When I saw Tron:Legacy I was impressed with how the music and visuals created almost a hypnotic trance like feel. I felt like it was a big budget Hollywood version of the laser Pink Floyd show at the local planetarium. There were some very gutsy choices made by some of the actors and the way the film was edited that certainly don't scream of lowest-common denominator Hollywood blockbuster. While there was substance there I viewed it more like a visit to a modern art museum where the pieces may try to provoke some kind of mood or feeling or make a statement about beauty or aesthetics than to be about a concrete subject or social issue. I felt like it was a very unique movie going experience for those reasons. I think Avatar and District 9 were great for what they were trying to do, but I do think people today are in such a hurry to get from point A to B that they don't always stop and enjoy their surroundings and take in what their senses are delivering to them. I think some critics got frustrated with the film because often it was just about creating a mood and feeling and enjoying it for what it is worth. That is just my two bits about it. I found the movie pretty refreshing, I just think that isn't what some people are paying for when they go to the movies.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Diversion from life and the cares of the day. Not having someone elses viewpoint on how the world should be run...or some political agenda...rammed down our throats. Ok. I'll stop there. LOL

FINALLY saw it again! In 3-D this time!

(We had the theater all to ourselves. Which gave me free rein to talk and make sarcastic comments throughout the whole thing. I am grateful my poor partner didn't strangle me)

Wow, the second time through I "saw" a lot more now that I've been here and understand it all better. Also got to clear up a couple questions I needed answered for my fanfic. And...a lot of Star Wars parallels I didn't even notice before, duh.

Still don't like Castor/Zuse, sorry guys. Though he does give me a giggle because he TOTALLY reminds me of Frank-n-Furter, even the second time around. I kept expecting him to say, "Oh, ROCKY!" Perhaps we can haz Tim Curry in Tr3n? And do the time warp--uh, portal warp---again?

Tron: Legacy is one of those movies that seems like it was tailor-made for those who enjoy subtext. Sure, you can take the story as is on the surface and only enjoy the visuals and or the basic plot, but reading between the lines (which I feel the screenwriters, producer, etc. intended), then you truly absorb the story.

I think the problem with many who cite the movie as a visual feast and not much more really miss the point of it all. But then again not everyone enjoys the same flavor of ice cream, or wears the same clothes, etc. Different strokes for different folks, as the saying goes.
