Tron: Legacy is some new Disney movie abt electro, computer games, robots, 3d, and other weird crap that people who drink Mountain Dew would like. However, it seems like Disney did a 'good enough job' of marketing the new Tron movie in order 2 make ppl go see it so it was #1 at the box office.
Tron Legacy raked in an estimated $43.6 million on approximately 5,600 screens at 3,451 locations
Wonder if Daft Punk made 'the right decision' by co-branding themselves with this movie. Feel like it still didn't get a lot of mainstream Avatar-level buzz, so not sure if mainstreamers <3 the Daft Punk brand even more now.
Disney tackled the challenging sell of Tron Legacy by bombarding the public with a massive marketing campaign, hoping to hook viewers with its father-son storyline and the razzle dazzle of its visual effects, even if it didn't make a lick of sense to the uninitiated. Predictably, Legacy's audience skewed heavily male (66 percent), according to Disney's exit polling, and 75 percent was aged 18 years and older.
Which do u think is a more powerful way 2 get people in 2 see ur movie: having a niche electro band do the soundtrack, or 'include the Disney logo' on ur movie poster + have a 'massive marketing campaign'?
Do u think modern movies just 'cheat' 2 get people in2 theatres by using the whole '3D gimmick' which elevates ticket prices and makes studios more $$$?
The 3D illusion was a big part of Tron Legacy's advertising, and 2,424 locations presented the picture in the format, accounting for 82 percent of the gross. That included 234 IMAX 3D venues, which made up 24 percent of the gross. Last year, Avatar had a 71 percent 3D share at a smaller 3D location count (2,038).
Is the IMAX 3D experience 'amazing' or just 'straight up lame'?
Did u see TRON: LEGACY?
Did it 'crush it'?
Was TRON just a 'big pile of crap' that ppl still went 2 go see?
Did Daft Punk 'carry the movie'?
Will Daft Punk some how get 'an Oscar' for 'Best Original Score', or will they lose to Toy Story for "You've Got a Friend In Me"?
Will they show up 2 the Oscars in robot costumes?
Will Thomas Banghalter get an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, or is Christian Bale an automatic lock 4 his role in The Fighter as a crack addict?
Just found out that Daft Punk's new album called THE TRON LEGACY SOUNDTRACK cracked 'the billboard top 10.' Kinda makes me sad bc the album was 'such a big letdown', but ppl are still buying it. Must be because Disney 'marketed the shit out of it.' Rlly wonder who 'bought this album' and what they expected out of it. Maybe they wanted to 'have a party' in their car, or potentially they
Daft Punk’s Tron: Legacy soundtrack debuts at #10. It’s the week’s highest-charting soundtrack to a theatrically-released movie...
I remember 'Discovery.' Seemed like a huge hit because every relevant indie electro fan 'knows abt it.' But I guess no1 bought it when it actually came out, because ppl were 2 young, and every1 was probs like 'WTF is this techno?' back b4 French Robots were totally 'kewl.'
This is the highest-charting album ever by the electronica-dance duo, which first charted in 1997. The duo’s highest-charting album before this was 2001’s Discovery, which reached #44.
Do u think this is 'bullshit'?
Does Daft Punk deserver 'commercial success' 4 this 'piece of poop'?
Did u see 'Tron: Legacy'? Is it 'bullshit'?
Do u think Disney can make 'any album' a hit [via the Jonas Brothers/Hannah Montana]?
I'm Joe Jonas
Just another famous post-tween strategically growing scruff + soul patches
Remember the time I tweet abt chillwave buzzband Neon Indian? [link]
I'm pretty alt, recording a new indie-sounding album
Anyways, I hit up this kewl new Daft Punk concert
It's called 'The Tron Tour'
I heard they really 'bring it', tons of kewl visuals
(sponsored by Disney)
Feels really good to know that the Daft Punks are now in 'the Disney family'
The Walt Disney Corporation has been rlly good to me + my bros
(The Jonas Bros)
So having a few alt robots in the family
will definitely help us get a little bit more 'alt cred.'
It's a good company,
They'll take care of u
Not sure if they'll get you 10.0s on Pitchfork
but they'll expose u to one of the largest emerging markets in the world: tweens
I know Generation Y thinks they are all important + relevant
But u gotta think abt the future.
Do yall like Ducktails? (not the buzzband)
See yall l8r
-Hue-bro, Du-bro, and Lou-bro
Anyways, gotta go bang this tween
Trust me--uglier broads are 'better in bed' because they are afraid that if they don't 'go wild', they will 'get dumped.'
Laters,
Joe 'Ass 2 Mouthin Tweens All Day' Jonas

Does Joe Jonas seem 'hella alt'?
Is Daft Punk losing 'tons of cred' because they are now branded with Disney?
Are the Daft Punk Brothers the new Jonas Brothers?
Will we see Daft Punk remix the Jonas Brothers?
Has any1 seen Tron: Legacy? Is it 'any good'?
Daft Punk did 'the soundtrack' for the new movie "Tron: Legacy." Apparently u can 'stream' a mix of their new music now. Kinda afraid to listen 2 it. Feel like it is probably 'a huge letdown.' Kinda sad that they haven't been able to recapture the magic of Homework/Discovery.
Have u listened to their new album/the 'leak'?
Did it meet ur expectations, or is it just 'forgettable soundtrack music'?
Does Daft Punk have any alternative credibility left?
Has Daft Punk 'already done enough' 4 'the electro scene', so they can just chill out 4evr now?
Is it still 'kewl' to say that u listen to Daft Punk?
Is TRON gonna 'bomb'?
Is Daft Punk gonna regret being associated with TRON?
Did Daft Punk 'peak' 10 years ago?
The movie "Tron: Legacy" looks pretty boring, but it is supposed to be relevant because Daft Punk did the score. I think this was just one of those movies that was designed to be a trending topic on twitter for 1.5 weekends or something. Possibly trying to take advantage of the niche of lost teens who don't identify with Twilight / Harry Potter.
Really just want to 'cut the bull shit', have these mp3s leak, and see if Daft Punk tying their brand to this movie was really worth it. Have a bad feeling that this movie will sort of be the "Starship Troopers" of the 2k10s. Seems like best case scenario, it ends up being 'The Matrix' of the 2k10s. Not sure if the original "Tron" was a legit movie, or if it is just sort of post-post-ironically glorified.
I wonder if Daft Punk will be able to top the hit theme song from the popular movie "Terminator 2" by Brad Fiedel.
Or if they will be able to top The Shins scoring of "Garden State."
Will Daft Punk be able to top Randy Newman's "You've Got a Friend in Me", the theme song to Toy Story?
Wonder if Daft Punk will be nominated for a Grammy, and then win just because they are the most popular band in the category.
What is the most authentic movie score of all time?
Can Daft Punk ever top 'Discovery' / 'Homework'?
Will 'Tron' be a flop?
