For reference, this is lower than the opening weekend of Morbius.

That's... bad

I'm refusing to pay to see it solely because of Jared Leto.

So are many, MANY people I know. They really shot themselves in the foot with that decision.

Well, you're losing a lifetime opportunity to watch probably a movie where the best part is when he says it's tronning time and he tries to tron all over those guys, but he can't and then he realizes he has to be more than a Tron, he has to become a symbol, a legend, he has to become an Aries.

For the Aries part: The horoscope suggests focusing on domestic matters and seeking comfort, as the Moon influences your emotional state. It's a good day for mental clarity, but be cautious of impatience later on.

It wasn't really a decision, Leto was a major producer on the film. ig that's the only way he can still get work, by financing the movies himself.

Must be nice, being rich enough to pay yourself to "work". 🤢🤬

Aside from touching on people he has a cult and a bunch of other weird shit this guy is no good

He's also not a good actor

IRL he's a weirdo and a jerk. Pretty sure he's running a sex cult. But that's just what I've heard. I've also heard other actors loathe working with him.

Not a fan of his acting. I was OK with him in Blade Runner 2049 because he was playing a megalomaniac and he was suited for the role.

His portrayal of Wallace in 2049 was basically how I imagine Leto sees himself, possessing other-worldly insight and power. It comes off as insanely creepy and was pitch perfect for the film setting. Not so much IRL apparently.
