<p>Jeff Bridges&#8217; sci-fi sequel Tron: Legacy has leapt to the top of the US box office grid with a 43.6 million dollar opening weekend, according to studio estimates.</p>
<p>The Disney release reboots the story line started in the 1982 tale Tron, in which Jeff&#8217;s character is hurtled into a deadly virtual reality known as the Grid. The movie co-stars Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde.</p>
<p>Though quaint by today&#8217;s standards, the computer-graphic effects in the original Tron were cutting-edge at the time. Yet the movie was a box office underachiever whose following somehow swelled in the intervening decades in a way that perplexed even the studio&#8217;s executives.</p>
<p>&#8220;I sure wish I knew, because there is a very, very committed core group of people who just love that movie, and they have fanned the opening-weekend grosses,&#8221; said Chuck Viane, head of distribution for Disney.</p>
<p>Other newcomers premiered with modest to poor receipts, continuing a sluggish end to Hollywood&#8217;s year.</p>
<p>The weekend proved no picnic for Dan Aykroyd&#8217;s family flick Yogi Bear, which fell flat at a weak number two with 16.7 million dollars. The Warner Bros release features the voices of Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake in an adaptation of the TV cartoon about the picnic-basket-thieving bear.</p>
<p>With children out of school over the holidays, Warner Bros executives hope Yogi Bear will hold up well through Christmas and New Year.</p>
<p>&#8220;We wish it had been a bit higher, but we&#8217;ll catch up as we get going,&#8221; said Jeff Goldstein, the studio&#8217;s general sales manager.</p>
<p>The previous weekend&#8217;s top movie, 20th Century Fox&#8217;s The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, fell to number three with 12.4 million dollars, raising its total to 42.7 million.</p>
