"It was like we put LSD in the punch at the school prom and it was just way more than they can handle."

"But people do not want to get their minds blown by Walt Disney Studios, they want to be reassured by them. Young people who were 10 and 12 weren't aware of the politics so they went to the movie and just dug it. But people who were 35 and had two kids - they bought their tickets, sat down, and it just ricocheted off the back of their heads and they couldn't handle it at all."

So Tron didn't make much money in the box office, but its clearly an important film that a lot people know about. I wonder how much it made from secondary releases.
