FRIDAY PM: Disney ‘s Tron: Ares is looking at $15M today, now set for a 3-day in the mid-to-high $30 million range at 4,000 theaters. It will take a very big Saturday and Sunday to put the Jared Leto movie back in the $40M range.

Currently, No. 2 is between Warner Bros’ One Battle After Another and Paramount/Miramax’s Roofman , each with about $7M-$7.5M . Roofman is booked at 3,362 while One Battle After Another has 3,127 theaters in its third weekend.
