I wonder if they are not getting the expected results and feel it's not worth it anymore?

That also wouldn't surprise me, viral is not as expensive as a traditional campaign (I would imagine) but if you're still not getting as many butts in the seats, merch sales, etc. then you may elect to not continue.

I just don't get how people/studios can blame San Diego Comic-Con for making movies bomb. Example, people say that TRON was a bomb when it's production budget was $170 Million and has grossed over $400 million worldwide. How is that a bomb?!?!?

Silly business.

Studios lack of content (clips) and scheduling conflicts (filming) is the real reason if you ask me.

Fingers crossed we'll see Flynn's....

Personally, I still hold out hope that something will happen at SDCC.... just off site and not affiliated with SDCC. Kinda like how the Piranha 3D trailer was shown off site because SDCC would allow it due to content. One of the rumors is that Piranha 3DD will have a presence. Because of this I want to have faith that something will happen Tron related.

Trust me, I want to see it too. My only doubt lies in the thought that they sent all of the Flynn's Stuff up to Anaheim for the Flynn's Arcade there...

At the same time there apparently has been some backlash from more conservative people that go and want it to go back to the "old ways" rather than being the big event it is now.

Could even be that the convention was asking too much/wasn't able to accommodate them, new rules, etc. So it could be like E3 where they tried the one year without being over the top and ended up going back to the boobie extravaganza that we see now.

i doubt flynns will be back this year, but hoping that 42Entertainment or Disney rents out that building again.

I have no doubt that 42E will be there in some capacity this year. I doubt we will see anything Tron related (but I will have my eyes peeled).

I think part of the backlash (from fans) has been not so much the participation but what they are bringing to the table. They may have been niche franchises like Tron or other comic book movies, but they are trying to mainstream them while trying to pretend they are catering to the comicbook fans.
