When Variety publishes a major profile on a filmmaker, readers tend to notice not only what’s included — but what’s missing.

Disney’s long-awaited Tron: Ares has officially crashed on entry to the weekend box office. Despite heavy promotion and years of anticipation, the sci-fi sequel opened to just $33.5 million domestically and $60.5 million worldwide, according to AP News and Entertainment Weekly.

While price hikes are nothing new at Disney—especially at the start of the company’s fiscal year—this round of increases comes at a time when attendance across the Florida parks has dropped to some of the lowest levels in years.
The new pricing takes effect on October 29, 2025, raising costs by up to $6 per person per park for Lightning Lane Multi Passes, and between $1 and $3 per person for Single Pass selections.
