Overview

  • Industry tracking pegs the Oct. 10 North American opening at about $44 million, matching 2010’s Tron: Legacy debut.
  • Early ticket sales total roughly $2 million, with comps including Gladiator II ($55M), F1 ($57M) and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny ($60.3M).
  • IMAX and other premium-format attendance are cited as the key variable that could lift results above current projections.
  • Disney’s campaign includes a San Diego Comic-Con Hall H splash, TV spots during NFL and college football, and a red‑and‑black Tron LightCycle retheme at Magic Kingdom.
  • Tracking shows stronger unaided awareness among men over 25, and reports note allegations surrounding star Jared Leto have not produced measurable movement in early metrics.
