The next installment follows a highly sophisticated program named Ares, portrayed by Jared Leto, “who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with A.I. beings,” the synopsis reads.

Tron: Ares underperformed at the box office, opening with a disappointing $32 million domestic debut and ultimately ending its theatrical run with $142 million worldwide. This is significantly lower than the movie’s reported $220 million production budget, according to Deadline.

Despite its poor box-office performance, audiences responded far more positively to the sequel. Tron: Ares currently holds an 85% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, while critics gave it a much lower 53%. Mashable’s film critic Kristy Puchko wrote that the movie “is heavy-handed, dunderheaded, and over earnest, but also occasionally funny, charming, sexy, and thrilling.”
