In related news, Brian Williams reports he isn't sure he'll be able to come back, what with his conflicting schedule as the Queen of England. He deeply regrets it, since he still misses his early days there when he founded NBC and laid the foundation it was built upon.

I really do not think they had a story for Tron 3, and it is a really expensive project, with sketchy chance of real profit. The spent a bundle on 2, and another bundle on marketing, it looked profitable, but it was not really.
I do not think Tomorrowland is perfect, but it is hardly asinine. It does not have the paint by numbers blockbuster marvel violent showdown third act, for that, and some other reasons, I think it is a decent picture, it might need to be chewed, instead of drunk with a straw look other fare, but that is okay.

I think you hit the nail on the head with Tron's lack of merchandising success. If the toy line was successful I think it would be financially smart for them to continue the series even if the films underperformed at the box office. But since it under performed in both respects, (also lets not forget the failed animated series) probably best they dropped this franchise. (Though I've said I would be interested in seeing another film)
I don't think Tomorrowland is asinine, it seemed like an interesting idea and I didn't dislike the previews. I just think a sci-fi adventure starring girls is a hard sell. Who is the demographic? It might have done better if they were boys, or at least a boy and girl.

Bummer about Tron. One of the few sequels I was excited about because I thought Legacy was fantastic.
