Disney’s Tron: Ares is pacing to roughly $15 million Friday and a mid-to-high $30 million three-day at 4,000 theaters, after $4.8 million in previews. The Indigenous People’s Day weekend could buoy Monday business, with many schools off, even as MLB and NFL siphon Sunday audiences. Warner Bros’ One Battle After Another and Paramount/Miramax’s Roofman are vying for No. 2 at about $7–$7.5 million; Universal’s Gabby’s Dollhouse and Sony/Affirm’s Soul on Fire round out the top five. Overall, the Columbus Day frame is unlikely to crack $100 million, signaling a muted October marketplace.
