By filming two movies at one time, you reduce the amount of time it takes to start up separate shoots (gathering the casts, production teams, locations, etc.). It was a way of streamlining the productions and, more importantly, saving money. The big wigs who own Harry Potter, Twilight, and The Hunger Games split each of the final books in those series in half, then shot both parts back-to-back in one supersized production. How did we get here? What happened to ‘The Divergent Series: Ascendant’ aka ‘Allegiant, Part 2’įor studios, squeezing two films out of a single book is a no-brainer - so long as it’s done correctly. But after The Divergent Series: Allegiant (aka Allegiant, Part 1) tanked at the box office, the studio canceled the finale. It was later pushed to June 2017 to accommodate Power Rangers. The movie, “based on” the second half of Allegiant, was titled The Divergent Series: Ascendant and was originally slated to be released March 24, 2017. “Of course!” fandom sighed, recalling the splits of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay. In April 2014, Summit announced that the final book in Veronica Roth’s Divergent series would be split into two films.
