TRON: Legacy - Review and Grading
- Thread starter Neroon
- Start date
^ That is what I guess will happen. Has Disney made an announcement yet on a sequel?
Don't think they will. Legacy flopped pretty bad.
Worldwide, the movie was just short of earning $400 million when it left theatres. The production budget was too bloated to make that the earnings of a hit (Box Office Mojo reports $170 million, The Numbers reports $200 million), but it was hardly a flop. It'll turn a profit on home video.
Still haven't seen it, though. If Disney makes a sequel, they should probably keep the budget more in line.
Okay this article claims Disney has begun work on "Tron 3".

Was I the only one befuddled by the fact that the guy running Encom talked extremely positively about Dillinger Sr.? Considering that Dillinger Sr. stole others' software ideas (a bad enough crime to begin with, but worse in the world of computer software) while he was in charge, you'd think Encom would try to distance themselves from him.
^ This was one of the flaws of the script that I had a problem with. It's clear that they were trying to set up Dillinger Jr. possibly being a pain in the arse later on, along with Alan and Sam stepping up to the plate so they had that guy in charge in the start of the movie.

The Arthur remake is a flop. Tron Legacy did pretty well. The gross doesn't even include all the sales of spin-off products or dvd's (which seem to be selling pretty well)
I'm also bolstered by all the people on this very board who are saying things like "I like it more every time I see it" or "It's even better on BD than it was in the theatre".
I'm betting we'll get one more.

I think the idea was that they were trying to show that Encom had become rather corrupt since Flynn disappeared that they were now more back to thinking the way Dillinger did when he was in charge.
I can see how that scene would come off as confusing. I interpreted it as a way to drive home the point that Encom had strayed from Kevin Flynn's vision. It contrasted in those scenes with Sam's "prank" activities in that sequence.
This also sets things up nicely for the end when Alan is put back in charge. If the CEO guy had been a totally cool guy that we liked, it wouldn't have had the same impact.

I was at work at Wal-Mat earlier today, and they appeared to have completely sold out the multipack (or didn't get any yet, which I kinda doubt) and were down to only a handful of single disc DVDs on one row of a four or 5 row display of both the DVD's and the multipacks. So it appears to be selling pretty well.

I've seen plenty of movies that I didn't think were huge hits that ended up getting sequels. So go figure.
I'll be very dissapointed if it doesn't.

It is one thing to be corrupt (although, the company was never really depicted as being corrupt other than straying from Flynn's ideology and wanting to, God-forbid, actually charge people for their products!!), but it is another thing to openly acknowledge how great someone was who brought down the reputation of the company by stealing ideas from others to boost said company.
That would be like Pat Quinn, or a future governor of Illinois, saying how great a governor Rod Blagojevich was for the state.
True. CEO-Guy was created to fail. It just seemed the "Dillinger was awesome" comment was just tacked on and extremely odd for someone in that guy's position to say with no one batting an eye (save Alan).
Mr. Light I guess you didn't see the Dillinger Jr. text conversation that was on the net and is part of the DVD extras? It's speculated that he's talking with his father who might have become the Master Control Program (sheer speculation). It's clear the two of them are aware of Sam and Alan. In the conversation his father (if it was indeed his father) warns him not to underestimate Sam and that he's a Flynn. Just as dangerous as his father was.
Yeah the point was to show that Encom was still corrupt and basically Alan was waiting for Sam to take up his rightful place as head of the company.
@timothy...yes Rinzler (who was named after author Jonathon Rinzler (who writes the Star Wars and Indy coffee table books) was Tron and it's possible that Tron could still be alive since we only saw Rinzler fall into the water.
