Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Tomorrowland (2015)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Despite owning the trademark to the word "Tomorrowland" in the United States since 1970, Disney released the film in the United Kingdom as Tomorrowland: A World Beyond and as Project T in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, because ID&T had registered the trademark in 2005 for its electronic music festival.
- Brad Bird had been tapped to direct Star Wars: Episode VII, but turned down the offer in order to work on Tomorrowland instead.
- The Hollywood Reporter estimated that the film cost $280 million to produce and market and that Disney's financial losses finished anywhere between $120 and $150 million, making it the third original tent-pole film of 2015 to flop, following Jupiter Ascending and Seventh Son.
- The film was teased with an image of a frayed cardboard box labeled 1952, supposedly uncovered from Walt Disney Imagineering, holding archival photographs of Walt Disney, Technicolor film, a vinyl record and a 1928 copy of Amazing Stories; Bird and Lindelof opened the box at the D23 Expo in Anaheim on August 10, 2013.
- During the four-day Memorial Day weekend the film grossed $42.7 million, the lowest opening for a big-budget tentpole since Disney's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which opened to $37.8 million in 2010.
- During post-production a number of scenes featuring Judy Greer as Jenny Newton, Casey's late mother, were cut to improve the film's runtime, reducing Greer's role to a minor cameo, while Lochlyn Munro, who portrayed Casey's live-in uncle Anthony, had his scenes removed completely.
