As we roll into the middle of October we get another sequel movie trying to revive an aging franchise, this time is a sequel to the 80's movie
TRON as the third movie in the series
TRON: Ares makes its debut at the tp of the UK box office.
The Disney movie was expected to blast into cinemas on a wave of hype, but instead it sort of whimpers in with a £1.2 Million debut, less than the previous movie in the series.

Last weeks top movie from Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl drops from the chart completely as it was only showing for a single weekend but it did take an amazing £4,679,450 that single week!
