how many movies this year was it actually worth going to theaters for? F1 is the only one i can think of thats new. I liked Sinners in theaters but its the same experience at home honestly (WE WUZ KANGZ N SHEEIT). It was cool seeing Jaws and Raiders of the Last Ark in theaters but not new.

Weapons, Fantastic Four, Superman, Thunderbolts, etc were all decent movies but all were just fine at home, the theater didn't really add much. Only one I am excited for next year is Odysseus.

The ONLY redeeming quality that Ares had was the soundtrack and 3d. Went to an XD theater and it was amazing, but the movie itself sucked. I don't think it would be worth it to watch at home. The 3d and sound quality made it bearable. The wife fell asleep twice. 20ish year old daughter enjoyed it, but it was super girl bossy, so right up her alley. Jared Leto de-rezzed twice, that was also good to see. His most believable acting is when he dies. Wish it happened more.

Cool, going to avoid seeing this and not ruin my memory of Tron. I can't wait until Hollywood gets sanitized of these blood sucking faggots who continue to ruin good franchises.

Yup - as I previously posted, Legacy also was produced and launched during the time period where Disney bought Marvel and the Lucas IPs like Star Wars/Indiana Jones/etc. While Legacy wasn't a bomb, it paled in comparison to the money they were earning or stood to earn from the newer acquisitions. Their original hope was Legacy would kickstart a new IP that attracted the lucrative young male demographic, but Marvel ended up serving that purpose instead.

Did the original bomb? I remember seeing it in the theater and it being packed. God I loved that movie, the story was ahead of its time and the way they portrayed shit in the computer was stellar. Bridges was awesome and the chick was hot!

not a bomb but broke even at best

and LOL at the 80s, they didn't fuck with weird American movies internationally. It made $525 overseas. Not 525,000... $525...

The second one was a $170M budget in 2010, excluding the carryover of Avatar into that year (which still was enough for #1) the top films were all $200M like Toy Story 3, Iron Man 2, Alice in Wonderland while Inception did it with $160M and How to Train Your Dragon + Shrek Forever After $165M. Christ, Tangled was $260M but obviously didn't pull Frozen numbers despite having a better story.

But why would a Tron sequel spend that much? $400M worldwide isn't bad but with that budget they weren't going to rake in the profits. Robin Hood and Megamind both did $321M but one spent $200M and the other only $130M budget. Meanwhile Sherlock Holmes pulled $524M with $90M spent.

Because it's Tron. How can you not put in some amazing special effects? You can't do Tron with the same special effects budget as some guys romping through a wooded suburb or low quality cartoon animation.

My son is 13 and he has seen the original movie. After we saw Ares this weekend he says "dad why did they call it Tron when Tron wasn't even in the movie?" PROUDEST DAD MOMENT EVER.

while didn't think the story was good, the creator showed could have a heavy special effects movie for $80m.

I wanted to like that movie because it was original hard scifi, but it was just so bad.

You can't make a Vietnam allegory where the Vietcong literally nuke America and then try and keep the same themes of Vietnam and America bad etc.
