![]() Lionsgate quickly moved to sign up Lee Toland Krieger for Ascendant and it seemed as though filming would begin as planned.īut things soon started to go wrong when Allegiant underperformed on its opening weekend, leading to reports that Lionsgate were going to cut the budget for Ascendant as a result. ![]() ![]() ![]() Production on the fourth and final movie was scheduled for summer 2016, although it hit a stumbling block when director Robert Schwentke decided against returning, reportedly because he needed a break after filming the previous two movies back-to-back. The first two movies in the franchise didn't exactly set the box office alight, both falling just short of $300 million worldwide, but there seemed no danger that Lionsgate wouldn't proceed with their original plans for the final book. Initially titled The Divergent Series: Allegiant – Part 1 and The Divergent Series: Allegiant – Part 2, the movies were retitled after the release of the sequel to the slightly more manageable The Divergent Series: Allegiant and The Divergent Series: Ascendant. Shortly after the release of the first movie, Lionsgate confirmed that they'd be splitting Allegiant into two movies, released in March 2016 and March 2017. ![]()
