Hollywood studios usually wait to see at least a full weekend of a given movie's box-****** returns before approving sequels. But in the case of Divergent, Summit/Lionsgate is feeling pretty dauntless.
After the movie gained an eye-popping $4.9 million in receipts for Thursday late-night screenings alone, the studio has greenlit Insurgent, the second installment of the dystopian young-adult franchise (is there any other kind?) adapted from Veronica Roth’s best-sellers
The sequel will begin shooting next month, and is tentatively scheduled for next March.
