Tron Legacy made $44M it's opening weekend and went on to gross $172M so maybe it was out five or six weeks before it disappeared into oblivion. For reference, this year's The Meg opened with $45M and only raked in $132M to date. If we still had DVDs or VHS tapes then both would likely be in the bargain bin. I never really "got" Tron either, but the attraction got rave reviews in China...right? If it's more fun than Stitch's Great Escape then I'm in!
