History Trivia / Tomorrowland

** Worse still is the fact that, unlike prior Disney bombs ''Film/JohnCarter'', ''Film/TheLoneRanger'' and ''Film/PrinceOfPersiaTheSandsOfTime'', ''Tomorrowland'' was a major overseas flop as well, earning only $115 million (pathetic for a big-budget visual-effects heavy spectacle; even ''The Lone Ranger'' earned $171 million overseas).

* BoxOfficeBomb: Sort of. On a budget $190 million, it broke even at $204 million. Not a bomb per-se, but not ''as much'' as Disney was hoping for.

* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $190 million. Box office, $204 million.

* BoxOfficeBomb: Budget, $190 million. Box office, $173 million.

* BillingDisplacement: Not only is Britt Robertson not billed above the poster like George Clooney, even though Casey is the main character more than Frank is, but she's actually billed behind Hugh Laurie as well. Nevertheless, she is getting by far the most buzz out of all the actors in the film, and this is expected to be a huge StarMakingRole for her.

* GenreKiller: Following the lukewarm reception this film received and the disappointing returns, Disney put a halt to all further development science fiction films not tied to ''Franchise/StarWars'' or the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, including a planned sequel to ''Film/TronLegacy''.

* DeletedRole: JudyGreer's role as Casey's Mother was denoted to a flashback home video and is missing from the present day time period.

Casey's mother appears in the present time period in the Junior Novelization.

* DawsonCasting: Britt Robertson is in her mid 20's, yet plays a girl who is 18 at most.

** In the U.K. the film is titled ''Tomorrowland: A World Beyond''.
* SurprisinglySimilarStories: To ''VideoGame/BioShock''. The similarities are truly astounding. The most obvious is that Tomorrowland is essentially Rapture, since it's a place [[spoiler:hidden from the outside world where humanity's best and brightest can come together to build a {{Utopia}} free from politics and bureaucracy]]. And Governor Nix essentially acts as this film's Andrew Ryan, since he grows contemptuous of humanity and [[spoiler:seals Tomorrowland away from the outside world since he believes it is doomed]], which is ''exactly'' what Ryan believed was the outside world's fate after the atomic bombings of Japan. There's more visual similarities to ''VIdeoGame/BioShock'' as well, such as the retro-futuristic aesthetic of the film's central location and Frank's initial journey to Tomorrowland: [[spoiler:he is transported by boat to a small vehicle that transports him to Tomorrowland]]. The ridiculously similar plot-points have led many to label this film as "''VideoGame/BioShock'' made by Disney for kids''.
