EH, Tomorrowland was probably the final nail, but this has been an issue with Disney for like the past decade. They over budget their movies, the box office numbers come back bad and then they wonder why everything went wrong. Tomorrowland is only another entry in a string of duds; John Carter, The Sorceror's Apprentice, Tron: Legacy, Prince of Persia, The Lone Ranger, Oz the Great and Powerful. Oz the Great and Powerful did very big business for Disney.

TRON 3 just got cancelled. I guess TOMORROWLAND's box office is partly to blame... DAMN IT! I loved Tron: Legacy and the soundtrack was all kinds of epic. But Tron: Legacy didn't flop so why should Tomorrowland have anything to do with the progression of the sequel? Was looking forward to seeing Cillian Murphy return as the villain.

Just curious. Disney has experienced massive success with Marvel franchises, Frozen, Pirates of the Caribbean, Oz The Great and Powerful. And yet just because Tomorrowland didn't bring in the desired numbers it wants to cancel Tron 3?

Now I'm just waiting for them to announce a Live Action Frozen in response. Johnny Depp is Elsa and Olaf and the baby Troll! If we're lucky. We're probably getting Helena Bonham Carter as a gothic Elsa with stringy hair and bug eyes. And Olaf the cute little snowman? Now he's Olaf the Giant Dream Spider.

Oz the Great and Powerful did very big business for Disney. Considering it's crazy budget, it really didn't get that big of a return. Domestically, perhaps, but foreign take was around $250mil. That foreign gross these days seems to be more important than what it does in the States. (Possibly because there are so many high budgets, studios cling to that for solace?) But yeah, spending $215mil for a Wizard of Oz movie is demented no matter who's doing the spending...

I'm really glad Spy found an audience. I heard the trailers did a poor job of marketing it (didn't see them myself) but it was a very fun movie.

Entourage was damn good, great way to end the series after limping to the final season.

Tomorrowland is only another entry in a string of duds; John Carter, The Sorceror's Apprentice, Tron: Legacy, Prince of Persia, The Lone Ranger, Oz the Great and Powerful. THIS, they overspend like a mofo. I don't know what they were thinking with John Carter. Much of your target audience doesn't know the character, there was no star power, and no buzz like Avatar got over with. Spending well over 200million on it was just ridiculous. They could have made a less glitzy/CGI-heavy movie that was as good or better than what they got. Lone Ranger went on for freaking ever. I got rather bored and got into my laptop and couldn't believe when I looked-up and the flick was still going. Oz was alright but certainly not worth what they spent. Same goes for Tron. Neither worth going to see at the theater. I think Sorcerer's Apprentice did alright for them and I do like it, but ya I do think dropping 150million on it was excessive. I honestly think Prince of Persia was the best video-game based flick ever made but I know I'm in the minority on that.

Tron: Legacy was definitely worth what they spent and could truly be appreciated in a theatre setting. Plus the Daft Punk soundtrack is amazing.
My confusion is what does Tomorrowland gross have to do with Tron not getting a sequel? Disney has had other huge success with Marvel that Tomorrowland flopping shouldn't be a concern, right?
