Part 3/10:
Tron Aries opened with approximately $103 million globally over ten days, a figure starkly disappointing for a production of this scale. The film reportedly cost $124 million to produce, with an additional $300 million estimated for global marketing, making the total investment well over $400 million. Typically, horror movies like Black Phone 2 are much cheaper to produce and market, which is why their breakeven points are lower. Black Phone 2 spent about $30 million making the film and earned $42 million during its opening weekend—a decent start that should lead to profitability after factoring in international sales and streaming rights.
