There is only one wrong way to be a fan of something; it's to insist that there's only one right way to be a fan of the thing, and it just so happens to be yours.

I just checked something else... that's also worse than Madame Web! For a movie that cost more than both Morbius and MW combined.

‘TRON: ARES’ has earned $14.3M in its opening day at the domestic box office.

For comparison, ‘MORBIUS’ opened to $17.3M.

Wait, add to that three years' worth of US ticket price increases (which is at least 8% from the quick bit of research I've done), and the fact that Morbius came out still in a post lockdown slump, that's even worse!

So, with Tron Ares getting Torn a new Arse at the box office, who wants to bet that the new Masters of the Universe film, which had cast Leto as Skeletor, is about to get some MAJOR reshoots?

To put that into greater context, Morbius' opening earned about 20.8% of its production budget (if we go with the highest quoted value for that). Tron Ares earned back 7.9%. Ooof!

@JennyENicholson How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor 9:09am - 9/9/2025 180K Views

Huge night at the Oscars, eh? Spartcus Mils, Crisis Correspondent: "It's bigger than that, Ed, it's large! All the Hollywood History books will have to be rewritten!" Really, what will they say? "Well, that Will Smith punched Chris Rock, everything else will be a footnote." Can you sum it up in a word? "No." A sound? "Neurgh!" Spartacus, thank you.
