The Amity are part-Amish, part-Rajneeshee and can offer only temporary solace, especially with Tris so torn up and confused. Tris (Woodley) and her band of merry men - Four (Theo James), her brother Caleb (Ansel Elgort) and Peter (Miles Teller) - are on the run from Jeanine (Kate Winslet) after the unpleasantness that ended "Divergent." They're hiding out with Amity, the peaceful faction led by earth mother Johanna (Octavia Spencer). To see Tris use her divergent powers to defeat Cinderella in the full chart listings, head to Box Office Mojo."The Divergent Series: Insurgent," the second of four movies, is fresh evidence that "Divergent" is "The Hunger Games" with training wheels. Chappie found himself shunted down to ninth and $2.6 million, while The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out Of Water was tenth with $2.3 million. T he Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel fell to seventh place, earning $3.4 million, with Focus down to eighth with $3.3 million. This new project from the people behind God’s Not Dead didn’t see its prayers answered quite as soundly, launching to $4 million compared to the previous film’s $9.2 million. Sixth place went to this week’s only other wide new release, Do You Believe?, the latest attempt to tap the lucrative faith-based market. Rounding out the top five we find Kingsman: The Secret Service, which dropped a couple of places but still made $4.6 million.
Unfortunately for him, it appears audiences are tiring of what is sometimes known as the geriaction genre, as the new film could only muster $5 million for a disappointing fourth-place start. That was still more impressive than the latest older newcomer looking to score some of the Taken franchise’s heat, with Sean Penn in The Gunman. Liam Neeson’s new action thriller, Run All Night, fell from second to third place, taking home $5.1 million. Still, we would expect plans to stay on track for two films based on Roth’s third book, Allegiant, to arrive across the next two years.Ĭinderella was nudged down to second place, dropping 49 per cent to earn $34.4 million in its second weekend of release. That’s actually little bit behind Divergent, which opened last year to $54.6 million, so it’s not like it’s a huge drop, but will still be slightly disappointing for Lionsgate/Summit, as the companies were probably hoping that Tris Prior’s (Shailene Woodley) struggle would take off the way that Bella Swan and Katniss Everdeen’s have in the past. The second film based on Veronica Roth’s dystopian adventure, Insurgent, debuted at the top of the US box-office charts this weekend with $54 million, according to studio estimates. While some book-spawned franchises see leaps in earnings between their instalments as the popularity begins to snowball (see: The Hunger Games and particularly Twilight), the Divergent series appears to be on more of an even keel.
