The problem I have is that it's like they are hoping that 3D will save it. It looks minimalist and old school. I keep

thinking everytime I see an ad that there is nothing here. There is no zing, no zam and the story is pretty simple and straight forward. I was looking forward to this as I loved this movie when I was a kid, Those light cycles  doing 90 degree turns at full speed blew my mind. This looks like a slavish remake. The look was state of the art 30 years ago and it has been slightly updated but I was hoping for something new and I just don't see it in the ads.

It's gone from must see for me to I think I'll wait for the DVD. If it tanks at a $35 million opening this movie will be out in 4 months. Not very long to wait at all.

THR: Preliminary tracking on TRON: LEGACY [TRON2] suggests it could earn as little as 35 million during its first three days notfabio Nov 30, 23:00

YOGI is tracking better than THE TOURIST {nm} notfabio Nov 30, 23:00

Aren't kids films usually underestimated too? If so, that bodes even better for Yogi. {nm} HarryWarden Nov 30, 23:23

Kid movies are harder to track, but they can be either too low or too high. {nm} shadowking Dec 01, 05:13

Looks niche, not the mainstream hit they're hoping for {nm} HarryWarden Nov 30, 23:01

On the flipside (not in article) but it is selling pretty decently for IMAX anyway. {nm} notfabio Nov 30, 23:01

I saw the original in the theater with my wife and neither of us have any interest in this go around. tradermark Dec 01, 01:11

I get a Rorschach vibe from its visuals: not unfocused, in the fuzzy look of the original, but "oh, I can't tell what that object is." second gary Dec 01, 05:03

Does Flixter post their 'Bullseye' every week? I can't seem to find it. I'm a bit curious how The Tourist is tracking among demographics. {nm} Rolling_Thunder Dec 01, 03:20

They stopped their bullseye report , the last I saw it was in August {nm} karspov Dec 01, 04:32

Bullseye for 11/19/10 (most current) RazorHawk Dec 01, 05:45

Thanks very much! May I ask where you got this from? Is there a link? {nm} Rolling_Thunder Dec 01, 05:47

Flixster has been having some computer problems lately RazorHawk Dec 01, 07:14

I seem to recall the original "Tron" was rather a big disappointment, not sure who thought this movie was a good idea. dominique_d Dec 01, 13:16
