I've never seen a Tron movie.

Not surprised that Disney can't make it successful either. Not with the shit they've been putting out for the last 12 years.

One Battle After Another: Why this year's most acclaimed film flopped

https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20251020-why-one-battle-after-anot
her-flopped


Variety magazine reported that several recent films aimed at a grown-up audience had all missed their targets, among them Roofman and The Smashing Machine. And the biggest loser of them all? You guessed it. "Though the global haul of $140m (£105m) is impressive for a film that's original, R-rated and nearly three hours long," said the article, "One Battle requires roughly $300m (£224m) to break even."

In the post-pandemic era, when so many films are available to stream, it does seem that nothing except IP-based blockbusters and horror films can tempt large numbers of paying customers into the multiplex.

One Battle After Another is an art house film. Its hectic rhythms, nerve-jangling music, deeply flawed characters, intensely political subject matter, and eccentric mix of seriousness and silliness mark it as the work of a writer-director who is determined to fulfill his own creative ambitions, however uncommercial the results. The reviews and the word of mouth may be superlative, but it's still a challenging film for anyone in the mood for a Friday night blockbuster.

Did I mention that One Battle After Another is available for free at the same time it is in the theater?

Nobody saw it because it's a woke piece of shit and a holdover from old, dead DEI Hollywood.

Let's just say that it's never going to make its money back after it's out of the theater and it will never become a cult classic.

Nobody saw it because it is reheated leftovers that were stuck in the back of the freezer for 20 years:

How One Battle After Another [2025] Remixes Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland [1990]

Paul Thomas Anderson spent 20 years adapting the acclaimed novel. The result is almost unrecognizable.

This movie was Leonardo DiCaprio's second recent failure. The other one was Killers of the Flower Moon [2023], because nobody wants to see a movie based on David Grann's non-fiction book Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI. It was absolutely crazy to squander a production budget of $200,000,000 (worldwide box office is 0.8 times production budget) on such dull material.

A little of column A, a little of column B.

Funny how your problem doesn't keep movies like the infinite Jurassic Park sequels and reboots from making money though, huh?
