Tron: Legacy is a 2010 American science fiction action film directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Steven Lisberger. It is a sequel to the 1982 film Tron with Jeff Bridges reprising his roles as Kevin Flynn and CLU, while Bruce Boxleitner reprises his roles as Alan Bradley and Tron. Garrett Hedlund portrays Flynn's adult son, Sam. The other cast members include Olivia Wilde, Beau Garrett, Michael Sheen, and James Frain. The film's soundtrack was composed by the electronic music duo Daft Punk. The film grossed over $400 million worldwide.

After his father disappears when he is a child, Sam Flynn finds himself transported into the world of The Grid, where he battles to save his father, and himself in the process.

Plot

In 1989, Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), software engineer and the CEO of ENCOM International, disappears. Twenty years later, his son, Sam (Garrett Hedlund), now ENCOM's primary shareholder, takes little interest in the company beyond playing an annual practical joke on the board of directors. Sam is visited by his father's friend, ENCOM executive Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner), urging Sam to investigate a message originating from Flynn's abandoned arcade. Upon entering the arcade, Sam reactivates the long dormant power supply, as well as a vintage juke box. As Journey's hit song Separate Ways plays, Sam discovers a Tron arcade game, which draws his interest. Attempting to play the game with the quarter given to him by his father the evening he disappeared, the machine ejects the coin, causing Sam to discover gouges in the floor which reveal a secret passage. Following the passage and discovering his father's secret office, Sam unintentionally teleports himself to the Grid, a virtual reality created by his father inside the "ENCOM 511" supercomputer.

On the Grid, Sam is sent to compete against a masked program called Rinzler who, having realized that Sam is a User, takes him before CLU, a duplicate of Kevin Flynn who rules the Grid. CLU nearly kills Sam in a Light Cycle match, but the latter is rescued by Quorra (Olivia Wilde), an apprentice of Flynn, who conveys him to his father outside CLU's territory. There, Flynn reveals to Sam that he had been working to create a "perfect" computer system and had appointed CLU and Tron (a security program created by Alan Bradley) its co-creators. In process thereof, Flynn discovered a series of "isomorphic algorithms" (ISOs), which carried the potential to resolve various mysteries in science, religion, and medicine. CLU, charged with creating 'the perfect system', deemed these an aberration, betrayed Flynn, captured Tron, and destroyed all of the ISOs with the sole exception of Quorra. Meanwhile, the "I/O portal" permitting travel between the two worlds had closed, leaving Flynn captive. Unable to prevail, CLU arranged for the page to be sent to Alan, in order to lure Sam onto the Grid.

Against his father's wishes, Sam returns to the Grid to find Zuse, a program who can provide safe passage to the I/O portal. At the End of Line Club owner Castor (Michael Sheen), reveals himself to be Zuse, then betrays him to CLU's guards. In the resulting fight, Flynn rescues his son, Quorra is injured, and Zuse gains possession of Flynn's 'identity disc'. Knowing the disc works as a master key to the Grid, Zuse attempts to bargain with CLU; but CLU simply takes the disc and destroys the club. Flynn and Sam save the injured Quorra and stow away aboard a solar sailer, where Flynn restores Quorra.

Aboard a massive warship, Flynn recognizes Rinzler as Tron reprogrammed by CLU, while CLU announces his desire to invade the material world. Sam thereafter reclaims Flynn's disc; whereupon CLU, Rinzler, and several guards pursue the protagonists in Light Jets. During the pursuit, Rinzler remembers his former identity as Tron and destroys CLU's Light Jet. CLU uses Tron's Light Jet to escape while Tron falls into the Sea of Simulation, where the colored lights on his armor revert to their original color.

CLU confronts the protagonists at the I/O portal. After attempting to reason with CLU, Flynn absorbs him, destroying both of them, as well as CLU's army and warship, while Sam and Quorra transfer themselves to the real world.

In Flynn's arcade, Sam backs up the system on his USB flash drive, and having deactivated it offers to a waiting Alan to take control of ENCOM and name the older man chairman of the board. Quorra meets Sam outside, and the two depart on his motorcycle, Sam intending to show Quorra a sunrise en route.

Cast

• Garrett Hedlund as Sam Flynn, a primary shareholder of ENCOM International. While investigating his father's disappearance, Sam is transported onto the Grid himself.
  • Owen Best plays the seven-year-old Sam Flynn.
• Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn, the former CEO of ENCOM International and creator of the popular arcade game Tron based on his own experiences in ENCOM's virtual reality. He disappeared in 1989 while developing "a digital frontier that will reshape the human condition". Bridges also portrays CLU (Codified Likeness Utility), via digital makeup and voiceover, while John Reardon portrays CLU physically. CLU is a more advanced incarnation of Flynn's original computer-hacking program, designed as an "exact duplicate of himself" within the Grid.
• Olivia Wilde as Quorra, an "isomorphic algorithm", adept warrior, and confidante of Kevin Flynn in the Grid. Flynn refers to her as his "apprentice" and has imparted volumes of information to her regarding the world outside of the Grid, which she longs to experience in person. Wilde describes Quorra as akin to Joan of Arc. Her hairstyle was influenced by singer Karen O. Wilde added that although " could have just been another slinky, vampy temptress", it was important for her to appeal to both men and women. She and Kevin Flynn are depicted as recreational Go players.
• Bruce Boxleitner as Alan Bradley, an executive consultant for ENCOM International, close friend of Kevin Flynn, and a surrogate father figure for Sam. After receiving a cryptic page from the office at the shuttered Flynn's Arcade, he encourages Sam to investigate its origin. Boxleitner also portrays Tron, a security program originally developed by Bradley to monitor ENCOM's Master Control Program, and later reassigned by Flynn to defend the Grid, in flashback sequences via the same treatment as Bridges' younger self for CLU.
• Michael Sheen as Castor/Zuse, a vivacious and renowned program who runs the End of Line Club at the top of a tower in the system. Sheen describes his performance as containing elements of performers such as Ziggy Stardust, Joel Grey from Cabaret, and a bit of Frank-N-Furter from The Rocky Horror Show.
• James Frain as Jarvis, Clu's right-hand program and chief intelligence officer.
• Beau Garrett as Gem, one of four programs known as Sirens. The Sirens operate the Grid's game armory, equipping combatants with the armor needed to compete in the games, while also reporting to Castor.
• Daft Punk as DJ programs at Castor's End of Line Club.
• Yaya DaCosta, Serinda Swan, and Elizabeth Mathis as the other three Sirens.
• Steven Lisberger as Shaddix, a bartender in the End of Line club.
• Anis Cheurfa, a stunt actor, portrays the masked warrior Rinzler. Rinzler is named after author and Lucasfilm Executive Editor, J.W. Rinzler.
• Jeffrey Nordling as Richard Mackey, chairman of ENCOM's board.
• Edie Mirman as the Computer Voice heard throughout the Grid.

Cillian Murphy appears in an uncredited role as Edward Dillinger, Jr., head of the software design team for ENCOM and the son of former ENCOM Senior Executive Ed Dillinger (portrayed by David Warner in the original film).

Production

Development

There was speculation that Disney would make a sequel film, due to the original film's cult following. On July 29, 1999, ZDnet News reported that a Tron sequel or remake was being considered by Pixar.

In 2003, Disney released an official sequel to the original film in the form of the video game Tron 2.0, leading to increased speculation over a pending film sequel. At the time of the games release, Lisberger suggested that any film sequel would have to meet the challenge of existing as a sequel to the video game.

Throughout the next several years, many unfounded rumors that a Tron sequel was in production or being developed were reported by various news websites.

On January 13, 2005, Variety reported that Disney had hired Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal to write a sequel to Tron.

At the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con, a preliminary teaser trailer (labeled as TR2N and directed by Joseph Kosinski) was shown as a surprise to convention guests. It depicted a yellow Program engaged in a light cycle battle with a blue Program, and it prominently featured Jeff Bridges reprising his role as an aged Kevin Flynn (from the first film). At the end of the trailer, the yellow Program showed his face, which appeared identical to Flynn's earlier program Clu (resembling the younger Flynn in Tron).

While the trailer did not confirm that a Tron sequel was in production, it showed that Disney was serious about a sequel. In an interview with Sci-Fi Wire, Bridges revealed that the test footage was not likely to appear in the finished movie.

On July 23, 2009, Disney revealed film's title at their panel at Comic-Con. Jeff Bridges explains that the title is in reference to the story's theme: "It's basically a story about a son's search for his father." They also showed a trailer similar to the one shown at Comic-Con 2008, with updated visuals. At the time, the film had just wrapped production and they had a year of post production ahead of them. Because none of the footage from inside the computer world was finished, they premiered concept images from the production. Art included the recognizer, which has been updated from the original film. Concept photos were also shown of Disc Wars, which has also been revised from the original film into a 16-game tournament. The arena is set up so that the game court organically changes, and all 16 games are going on at the same time. The boards also combine in real time until the last two Disc warriors are connected.

Light cycles make a return, with new designs by Daniel Simon. According to the press conference at Comic-Con 2009, a new vehicle appears called a "Light Runner," a two-seat version of the light cycle. It is said to be very fast, and has the unique ability to go off The Grid on its own power. We also get a glimpse at Kevin Flynn's own cycle, a "Second Generation Light Cycle" designed in 1989 by Flynn and is "still the fastest thing on The Grid." It incorporates some of the look of both films.

A life-size model of the light cycle was put on display at a booth at Fan Expo 2009 in Toronto, Ontario from August 28–30, 2009, along with a special presentation of material from the production. The conceptual art shown at Comic-Con was shown in the session, along with some test film of the martial artists who play a more athletic style of Disc Wars. A segment from the movie showed Flynn's son entering the now-decrepit arcade, playing a Tron stand-up arcade video game, noticing a passage in the wall behind the Tron game and entering it, the passage closing behind him. Flynn's son makes the visit to the arcade after Alan Bradley receives a page from the disconnected phone number of the arcade. The footage was used later as part of the trailer released on March 5, 2010.

The original character of Yori does not appear in the sequel; nor does her user, Dr. Lora Baines, even though the film refers to Alan Bradley being married to Lora. According to online media Sci Fi Wire: "Fans have been lobbying for actress Cindy Morgan to be in the movie." There are active campaigns online, such as "Yori Lives" on Facebook, which is independent of Morgan herself. "All I know is what I'm seeing online," Morgan said. "I am so thrilled and touched and excited about the fan reaction and about people talking about the first one and how it relates to the second one. I can't tell you how warm a feeling I get from that. It just means so much." No one from Tron: Legacy had contacted Morgan, and she did not directly speak with anyone from the Joseph Kosinski-directed sequel. As Dr. Lora Baines, Cindy Morgan had appeared with Bruce Boxleitner (as Alan Bradley) at the Encom Press Conference in San Francisco, April 2, 2010.

Writing

Bridges brought on board Bernie Glassman, a Zen Buddhist, to consult on the story and add spiritual subtext.

The film's director and producers met with science consultants provided by the Science & Entertainment Exchange to create a "strong science foundation at key moments in the film."

Filming

Filming began in Vancouver, British Columbia in April 2009. Stage shooting for the film took place at the Canadian Motion Picture Park studio in south Burnaby. The film was shot in dual camera 3D using Pace Fusion rigs like James Cameron's Avatar, but unlike the Sony F950 cameras on that film, Tron used the F35s. "The benefit of ," according to director Kosinski, "is that it has a full 35mm sensor which gives you that beautiful cinematic shallow depth of field." Most of the film was filmed in 3D, as was the teaser. The film's beginning portions were shot in 2D. 40 minutes of the film were vertically enhanced for IMAX. Digital Domain was contracted to work on the visual effects.

In April 2009, pictures were leaked onto the Internet showing actors in blue skintight suits. The design of the suits is reminiscent of the outfits worn by the actors in the original film. Director Kosinski also revealed that the faces of the younger Flynn, as well as Clu 2, were created entirely in CG. Recordings of Bridges delivering Clu 2's lines were used to create the character.

In some sequences the image shows a fine mesh pattern and some blurring. That is not interference or a production fault, but indicates that that sequence is a flashback and to simulate an older form of video representation technology.

Stunt work on the film was designed and coordinated by 87eleven. Olivia Wilde described it as an honor to train with them. 87eleven also designed and trained fight sequences for 300 and Watchmen.

Music

Electronic music duo Daft Punk composed the film score. At the time of the 2009 Comic-Con, it was revealed they composed 24 tracks for the film. When Kosinski was asked why he decided to have Daft Punk do the film score, he replied, "How could you not at least go to those guys?" Kosinski referred to the score as being a mixture of orchestral and electronic elements. Olivia Wilde stated that the duo may be involved with future promotional events. A teaser trailer features Daft Punk and their track "Derezzed" from the soundtrack. The film score features an 85-piece orchestra, recorded at AIR Lyndhurst Studios in London. A soundtrack album of the film was released on December 6, 2010. A deluxe edition of the album was also released that includes a poster of Daft Punk from the film. The songs "Separate Ways" by Journey and "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" by Eurythmics are also featured in the film as source music in Flynn's arcade. Daft Punk's score was arranged and orchestrated by Joseph Trapanese. Jason Bentley served as the film's music supervisor.

Walt Disney Records released a remix album of the score titled Tron: Legacy Reconfigured on April 5, 2011.

Sound effects

Crowd effects for the gaming arena were recorded at the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con International. During one of the Tron: Legacy panels, the crowd was given instruction via a large video screen while techs from Skywalker Sound recorded the performance. The audience performed chants and stomping effects similar to what is heard in modern sports arenas.

Marketing

On July 21, 2009, several movie-related websites posted they had received via mail a pair of "Flynn's Arcade" tokens along with a flash drive. Its content was an animated GIF that showed CSS code lines. Four of them were put together and part of the code was cracked, revealing the URL to Flynnlives.com, a fictitious site maintained by activists who believe Kevin Flynn is alive, even though he has been missing since 1989. Clicking on a tiny spider in the lower section of the main page led to a countdown clock that hit zero on July 23, 2009, 9:30 pm PDT. Within the Terms of Use Section, an address was found. It lies in San Diego, California, USA near the city's convention center where the Comic-Con 2009 took place and some footage and information on the sequel was released. Flynn's Arcade was re-opened at that location, with several Space Paranoids arcade machines and a variety of '80s video games. A full-size light cycle from the new movie was on display.

A ninth viral site, homeoftron.com, was found. It portrays some of the history of Flynn's Arcade as well as a fan memoir section. On December 19, 2009 a new poster was revealed, along with the second still from the movie. Banners promoting the film paved the way to the 2010 Comic-Con convention center, making this a record third appearance for the film at the annual event.

Disney also partnered with Coke Zero to promote Tron: Legacy. Said promotion included promotional in-store standees, as well as Tron: Legacy logos and character art on Coke Zero cans, bottles, and 2-liters, as well as pre-movie advertisements at movie theater chains, and extensive promotional material on the official Coke Zero website.

Theme parks and attractions

At the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, one monorail train was decorated with special artwork depicting lightcycles with trailing beams of light, along with the film's logo. This Tron themed monorail, which was renamed the "Tronorail," was unveiled in March 2010.

At the Disneyland Resort in California, a nighttime dance party named "ElecTRONica" premiered on October 8, 2010 and was set to close in May 2011, but it has been extended through Labor Day, in Hollywood Pictures Backlot at Disney California Adventure Park. Winners of America's Best Dance Crew, Poreotics, perform at ElecTRONica. As part of ElecTRONica, a sneak peek with scenes from the film is shown in 3D with additional in-theater effects in the MuppetVision theater.

On October 29, 2010, the nighttime show World of Color at Disney California Adventure Park began soft-openings after its second show of a Tron: Legacy themed encore using a Daft Punk music piece titled "The Game Has Changed" from the movie soundtrack, using new effects and projections on Paradise Pier attractions. The encore officially premiered on November 1, 2010.

On December 12, 2010 the show Extreme Makeover Home Edition as part of a house rebuild constructed a Tron: Legacy themed bedroom for one of the occupants young boys. The black painted room not only consisted of life sized Tron city graphics but glowing blue line graphics on the walls, floor and furniture, a desk with glowing red lit Recognizers for the legs and a Tron suit inspired desk chair, a Lightcycle shaped chair with blue lighting accents, projection mural system that projects Tron imagery on a glass wall partition, laptop computer, flat panel television, several Tron Legacy action figures, a daybed in black and shimmering dark blue and blue overhead lit panels. Disney was involved with the Ice Hotel in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden through association with designers Ian Douglas-Jones at I-N-D-J and Ben Rousseau to create "The Legacy of the River", a high-tech suite inspired by Tron: Legacy. The suite uses electroluminescent wire to capture the art style of the film. It consists of over 60 square meters of 100mm thick ice equating to approximately six tons. 160 linear meters of electroluminescent wire were routed out, sandwiched and then glued with powdered snow and water to create complex geometric forms. The Ice Hotel is expected to get 60,000 visitors for the season which lasts December 2010 through April 2011.

On November 19, 2010, the Tron: Legacy Pop Up Shop opened at Royal-T Cafe and Art Space in Culver City, California. The shop featured many of the collaborative products created as tie ins with the movie from brands such as Oakley, Hurley and Adidas. The space was decorated in theme and the adjacent cafe had a tie in menu with Tron inspired dishes. The shop remained open until December 23, 2010.

Electronics and toys

Electronics and toy lines inspired by the movie were released during Fall 2010.

Video games

A tie-in video game, entitled Tron: Evolution, was released on November 25, 2010. The story sits between the original Tron film and Tron: Legacy. Teaser trailers were released in November 2009, while a longer trailer was shown during the Spike Video Game Awards on December 12, 2009. IGN reviewed the PlayStation 3 version of the game but gave it only a "passable" 6 out of 10.

There were also two games released for the iOS devices (iPhone, iPod, and iPad) as a tie-in to the movie: Tron and Tron: Legacy.

Disney commissioned N-Space to develop a series of multiplayer games based on Tron: Legacy for the Wii console. Propaganda Games developed the movie tie in game Tron: Evolution for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Custom Tron branded gaming controllers have been released for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii. IGN reviewed the controllers giving them a "great" score of 8.5 out of 10.

The world of Tron: Legacy will be featured in the upcoming video game Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance.

Graphic novel

A tie-in 128-page graphic novel Tron: Betrayal was released by Disney Press on November 16, 2010. It includes an 11 page retelling of the original Tron story in addition to a story fitting between the original film and Tron: Legacy. IGN reviewed the comic and gave it a "passable" score of 6.5 out of 10.

Screenings and release

On October 28, 2010, a 23-minute preview of the movie was screened on many IMAX theaters all over the world, (presented by ASUS). The tickets for this event were sold out within an hour on October 8. Stand-by tickets for the event were also sold shortly before the presentation started. Original merchandise from the movie was also available for sale.

Announced through the official Tron Facebook page, the red carpet premiere of the film was broadcast live on the internet. Tron Legacy was released in theaters on December 17, 2010, in the United States and United Kingdom. The film was originally set to be released in the UK on December 26, 2010, but was brought forward due to high demand. According to the latest trailer, the film will be presented in IMAX 3D and Disney Digital 3D. The film will also be released with D-BOX motion code in select theaters and released in 50 Iosono-enhanced cinemas, creating "3D sound".

On December 10, 2010, in Toronto, Canada, a special premiere was hosted by George Strombolopolous organized through Twitter, open to the first 100 people who showed up at the CN Tower. After the movie ended the tower was lit up blue to mirror The Grid.

On December 13, 2010, in select cities all over the United States, a free screening of the entire film in 3D was available to individuals on a first come, first serve basis. Free "Flynn Lives" pins were handed out to the attendees. The announcement of the free screenings was made on the official Flynn Lives Facebook page.

On January 21, 2011, the German designer Michael Michalsky hosted the German premiere of the movie at his cultural event StyleNite during Berlin Fashion Week.

Reception

Critical response

Tron: Legacy received mixed reviews from film critics. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 50% based on 221 reviews, with an average score of 5.9/10. The site's consensus stated, "Tron: Legacy boasts dazzling visuals, but its human characters and story get lost amidst its state-of-the-art production design." Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score in the 0-100 range based on reviews from mainstream critics, calculated an average score of 49% for the film, based on reviews from 40 critics.

Roger Ebert gave a positive review of Tron: Legacy giving it 3 out of 4 stars. He describes the film as a light show that "plays to the eyes and ears more than the mind" and he further praises the 3D and computer generated younger version of Jeff Bridges noting that "both films, made so many years apart, can fairly lay claim to being state of the art." Ebert calls the plot a catastrophe, although he describes Jeff Bridges' performance as effective given the preposterous material, and credits the other actors for bringing humanity to their roles. Kyle Smith of the New York Post calls the film an "eyeball party" in praise of the visuals. The score by Daft Punk he says "surpasses magnificence" containing the qualities of the thundering work by Hans Zimmer on The Dark Knight and also of retro-’80s synthesizer music. Smith complains about the writing, calling it "buggy storytelling" and describing the one liners as "idiot speak", but ultimately he gave the film a score of 3 out of 4.

Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly describes Joseph Kosinski's direction is "just intriguing enough to leave you hoping that when Sam finally locates his father ... the story will really take off" but is disappointed that it turns out a little too much like a bad old "trapped on Planet X" type of science fiction story. Gleiberman describes the landscapes as looking "like Blade Runner after gentrification" and praises the fluidity and elegance of the special effects, as well as the music admitting he "grooved on the look and the atmosphere" for much of the film. Bridges' beatnik Zen performance is likened to "a weary cyber version of the Dude" while he describes the role of Olivia Wilde as "pretty standard punk-arm-candy posing". He notes the film "injects you into a luminous action matrix and asks you to be happy with the ride" but is disappointed as it is another Hollywood film being overly consumed by its own effects. Josh Tyler of Cinemablend praised the film's 3D technical merits. Scott Tobias of The AV Club gave the film a D+ rating. Although he praises the cutting edge special effects, he argues that in an attempt to reach greatness the film takes itself too seriously and becomes dry and lacking in any joy.

Michelle Alexandria of Eclipse magazine gave a positive review, stating that she "loved the story"; Kurt Loder of Reason magazine praises the slick work of director Kosinski and credits his undergraduate architectural studies which bring a monumental quality to the (IMAX) film. Impressed by the original vision he sees echoes of Fritz Lang's Metropolis and elements of Kubrick, noting that Castor's night club is "pure Milk bar". He praises the film for being realized at a high level and "about as brainy as this kind of genre fun gets". Rossiter Drake of 7x7 writes that Tron: Legacy is "Buoyed by its story, sometimes convoluted but hard to resist". Pete Hammond of Box Office magazine also praised the story, noting that "Tron Legacy doesn't let Sam wander through this CGI enhanced universe without some sort of emotional payoff" and "Legacy's great story and acting are matched by great effects".

Box-office performance

The film has grossed $172,062,763 in the United States and Canada, as of April 14, 2011, and $228,000,000 in other countries, as of May 1, 2011, for a worldwide total of $400,062,763. On its opening weekend, it earned $44,026,211 worldwide, Although it did not reach Disney's high expectations for a 3-D film similar to the success of Avatar, it nevertheless was a box office success, selling more tickets than its predecessor (an achievement few sequels of 2010 succeeded in accomplishing) and was Disney's fourth film in 2010 to reach $400 million worldwide. It stayed in theaters until April 14, 2011.

North America

Based on pre-release audience surveys Tron Legacy was expected to take in $50 million at the box office on its opening weekend. It topped the box office with $17,509,781 on its first day and $44,026,211 throughout the weekend, far ahead of the other two new releases, Yogi Bear ($16.4 million) and How Do You Know ($7.5 million). It marked the 12th highest-grossing movie of 2010 and the largest one of December 2010. It is also the second largest Virtual Reality and Sci-Fi Chase movie and the third largest Man vs. Machine movie in the USA and Canada.

Other countries

It failed to top the box office on its overseas opening, since it earned only $20.3 million and ranked fourth behind Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Let the Bullets Fly and Deathly Hallows: Part 1. However, on its fifth weekend —Martin-Luther-King weekend—, with $17.2 million and few competition, it reached the number one spot overseas with Tangled about $2 million below in second place.

In Japan, its highest-grossing market after the USA and Canada, it debuted with $4,342,766 (including weekday previews), placing second for the weekend, and ended its box-office run with $25,155,442. In Russia and CIS, it began with $6,114,112 at number one and reached a total of $21,316,483. In China, it had an impressive opening of $10,624,412 but it quickly faded out for a final gross of $18,889,822. In the UK, Ireland and Malta, it had a $3,062,649 opening at the top spot of the box office and ended with $16,221,225. Other $10-million-plus territories were Germany ($14,756,510), Australia ($14,505,106), Mexico ($14,298,825) and France and the Maghreb region ($11,549,298).

Tron: Legacy was released by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment on Blu-ray Disc, DVD, and digital download in North America on April 5, 2011. A five-disc box set entitled The Ultimate Tron Experience contains the Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD, and digital copy of Tron: Legacy, as well as Tron: The Original Classic in collectible packaging. A separate five-disc box set referred to as the Tron: 2-Movie Collection contains the same elements, except it does not include collectible packaging. A four-disc box set is also produced with the Blu-ray 3D. The film is also packaged as a two-disc DVD and Blu-ray combo pack, as well as a single-disc DVD version. Tron: Legacy will be released as a digital download in high definition or standard definition, including versions with or without the digital extras.

A preview of the 10-part animated series Tron: Uprising is included in all versions of the home media release. The Blu-ray versions of Tron: Legacy also include an interactive bonus piece called The Next Day: Flynn Lives Revealed that explains what happened immediately following the end of the movie, as well as Disney Second Screen. Tron: Legacy will be the second Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment release that includes Disney Second Screen, a feature accessible via a computer or iPad app download that provides additional content as the user views the film.

40 minutes of the film were, although shot in 2.35:1, vertically enhanced for IMAX. These scenes are presented in 1.78:1 in a similar way to the Blu-ray release of The Dark Knight.

Awards and nominations

Tron: Legacy received an award for "Best Original Score" from the Austin Film Critics Association. The film was also nominated for "Excellence in Production Design for a Fantasy Film" by the Art Directors Guild, and for "Sound Editing" by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Sequels and other media

Steven Lisberger stated on October 28, 2010, before the film's release, that a sequel was in planning and that Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis, screenwriters for Tron: Legacy, were in the early stages of producing a script for the new film. Perry Nemiroff of Cinemblend speculated that Tron 3 could be the first installment in a new trilogy. On January 13, 2011, Ain't It Cool News reported that the film was close to having its sequel announced as part of Disney's plan for Tron's future.

On January 21, 2011, Tron-Sector reported an unsourced rumor that a sequel to Tron: Legacy has been green-lit and a teaser trailer will debut on the DVD and Blu-ray Disc release of Tron and Tron: Legacy. Harry Knowles reported on the teaser calling it a "DVD Extra" and noting it had been filmed before Thanksgiving (i.e. before November 2010).

A spin-off animated series called Tron: Uprising is under way and will premiere sometime in 2012 on the Disney XD network across the United States. Tron: Legacy's writers Adam Horowitz and Eddie Kitsis have revealed that the ten-part miniseries will aim to tell the story of what happened in the Grid between films. Actors lined up as voices for the animation include Bruce Boxleitner, Elijah Wood, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Mandy Moore, Paul Reubens, Nate Corddry and Lance Henriksen.

On April 8, 2011, director Joseph Kosinski talked about the sequel, saying "we’re working on the story right now. Once we get a script we’re all really happy with, we’ll take it to the powers that be and see if we can go back to the grid. I think we will pick up with where Tron: Legacy left off with Quorra in the real world and what does that mean and the possibilities it opens up for the next chapter. It’s that relationship between the two of them that’s the next step.”

On June 7, 2011, it was reported that screenwriter David DiGilio (Eight Below) has been hired to draft a script for the sequel to Tron: Legacy. Legacy screenwriters Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis were initially slated to return but were forced to drop out due to their ongoing work in developing the ABC television series Once Upon a Time. It is currently unspecified whether or not Legacy director Joseph Kosinski will return to direct the sequel.

A manga version of Tron: Legacy was released by Earth Star Entertainment in Japan on June 30, 2011.
