Plain Old Tele Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 You guys are looking at the lump sum. The sense of it probably varies depending on which distributor/territories, percentage returned, home video, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the second one they got distributors by saying "We have added 3D and markets are expanding", and despite the addition of 3D and expanding markets, it only made 150M OS. Maybe they sold the 3rd and 4th movies as a package deal? I can't see them getting less than 100M for both combined but I doubt it was a package because Ascendent is not gonna happen thanks to Allegiant bombing.

TServo2049 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 You really think they are going to end the series without a conclusion? I don't give a rat's ass about Divergent, but they are not going to kill it 3 movies in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one made money. It would be a ridiculously bad business decision to not make a second one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can see, they both squeaked by at approximately three times their budget WW (which is usually more than reported), but not including whatever they spent on marketing...with a very mixed critical and audience reaction. Not sure on home video/VOD. But reception-wise: first one: 40% on RT, second one 30%. And the second one cost more and grossed essentially the same as the first. So yes, I'm being serious.

They could have ended the series there if they wanted to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you can't be serious right now. Insurgent added 3D. They were expecting more money. Increasing the budget was the obvious thing to do to make the scale bigger. Besides, the first cost 85M and 65M were covered by OS sales. Lionsgate paid 20M of the budget and the marketing campaign probably was no more than 20-25M. Insurgent was obviously gonna happen after the results of Divergent and it would be stupid not to green light it. The same can't be said for Allegiant, tho.

Yeah, I see your point. But that was one movie in, not three. I still bet Lionsgate probably believes they have too much riding on it to stop 3/4 of the way through. If they do think this, they may be wrongheaded to do so, but what the hell else do they have after Hunger Games is over? It would still be hilarious for them to prematurely end a book series adaptation on part 1 of the split final book, though. That would be the ultimate karmic fuck you to final-chapter splitting.

IF they think a third film will not make money,you be they will not make it. I suspect thoug, they will make the third but with much smaller budget.
