mahnamahna Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Wouldn't be surprised if Disney moves TRON 3 to Star Wars Episode VIII's current date and shifts VIII to Christmas 2017. If Avatar 2 isn't going to release in 2017, Disney ought to capitalize. Not to mention TRON 3 is a lot better for GotG 2 than Star Wars anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they scheduled TRON III for May, other studios would put their bigger film their. It wouldn't be a threat for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be a threat for them. Unless they cast The Rock as the villain. It's all about the box office intimidation tactics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be a threat for them. If Disney holds off long enough, they could definitely prevent any further films from moving into May. I just don't get why they would film it over 2 years before release... unless they plan on a Fall release (October 2017?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Disney should wait and see where Avatar is by next year. If it isn't going to make the 2017 release date, hey really should keep SW8 in May as long as they can to scare other studios away, and then BAM move it to December and have Tron drop on Memorial Day weekend.

Ryan Reynolds Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 cold feet by Disney after Tomorrowland bombed? they initially canceled Lone Ranger after Cowboys & Aliens a sci/fi western flopped. Maybe after Disney is rolling in Star Wars money they will revisit with a smaller budget, but who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) Not happening according to Hollywood Reporter. Interesting decision by Disney. The Tomorrowland effect too late to pull Pirates 5 or AiW, so Tron will have to go I guess. Tron Legacy was not a money loser but it didn't exactly set the world alight either. But the major concern would be that neither Garret Hedlund nor Olivia Wilde became big stars in the past 5 years. Wonder what Disney will try for their next live action tent pole.

Nor did it lose much money, but it was hardly profitable. But I was still optimistic they were going forward with this. Guess they finally looked at the numbers.

marveldcfox Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I have a feeling Joseph Kosinski will direct a star wars spinoff movie. Maybe the Boba Fett one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowhite Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) Disney Pulls Plug on ‘Tron 3′ So Tomorrowland pretty much killed this movie? Honestly, this movie never made sense financially in the first place. But I was hoping they'd do it anyway...cause a Fury Road may be in a similar financial quandary with regards to a sequel. But unlike this...it's universally loved...so that may sway it. Edited May 30, 2015 by kowhite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I had a feeling this would happen, Disney was dragging their feet way too much with getting started on the sequel. Shouldn't this thread's title be changed now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
