Tron: Ares Slumps as the Leto Curse Continues

Tron: Ares

Tron: Ares won the weekend box office in what can only be described as a disappointment. The film opened in 4,000 theaters but grossed just $33.5 million. In 2010, Tron: Legacy opened with a little over $44 million with 3,451 theaters. Internationally, the film did even worse bringing in $27 million for a worldwide debut of $60.5 million. While Tron has always been a bit niche in audience, this performance has to wind up killing the property for a while.

The opening also continues a string of slumps for Jared Leto and is worse that 2022’s Morbius which opened with a little over $39 million. The folks behind Masters of the Universe should be shitting bricks now as Leto is playing Skeletor in the film which is in post-production.

Leto has had a string of misses:

  • Haunted Mansion – 2023 – $24.1 million debut, $117.4 million worldwide – Budget $150 million
  • Morbius – 2022 – $39 million debut, $167.5 million worldwide – Budget $75 million
  • House of Gucci – 2021 – $14.4 million debut, $153.3 million worldwide – Budget $75 million
  • Zack Snyder’s Justice League – 2017 – $93.8 million debut – $661.3 million worldwide – Budget $300 million
  • The Little Things – 2021 – $4.7 million debut – $30.8 million worldwide – Budget $30 million
  • Blade Runner 2049 – 2017 – $32.8 million debut, $277.9 million worldwide – Budget $150/$185 million
  • Suicide Squad – 2016 – $133.7 million debut, $749.2 million worldwide – Budget $175 million
  • Dallas Buyers Club – 2013 – $260,865 debut – $55.2 million worldwide – Budget $5 million

Beyond some high profile films where he was not the main draw, Leto has a spotty box office at best and if anything, seems to sink the movie’s gross. The profitability of the films just doesn’t seem to be there.

Roofman opened in second place with an estimated $8 million domestically and no international return.

One Battle After Another slipped to third place grossing $6.7 million to bring its domestic total to $54.5 million. Internationally, the film has grossed $83.5 million with a worldwide gross of $138 million.

Gabby’s Dollhouse: The Movie remained in fourth place with $3.4 million to bring its domestic total to $26.4 million. Internationally, the movie has grossed $19.5 million for a worldwide total of just under $46 million.

Soul on Fire debuted and rounded out the top five with $3 million domestically and no international gross.
