Lionsgate says the final novel in the “Divergent” trilogy will be TWO movies. Because that’s what all the cool kids are doing. Subscribe: http://goo.gl/9AGRm
The Divergent movie series will conclude with Allegiant Part 1 and Allegiant Part 2. Ostensibly, because the final novel is so action-packed. Except, it isn’t. What IS action-packed, however, is Lionsgate’s anticipated box-office returns.
Making multiple movies of one book has been a tradition since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, back in 2010. Since then, pretty much every YA-novel based film series with a splitting of the final book into two movies. Some of those adaptations have landed pretty well, but if this strategy is going to flop, we’re guessing it’ll be with the Allegiant duo.

What do you think of this split sequel trend? Do you think the producers should have split a different book in Harry Potter, Twilight, or the Hunger Games into two movies? Have you seen Divergent? Do you think it deserves 2 sequels or 3 (or none?)
