Lionsgate will release a total of four “Divergent” films on its Summit Entertainment label, with the next film, “Insurgent,” which begins production next month, scheduled for release on March 20, 2015. Part 1 will hit theaters on March 18, 2016, and Part 2 on March 24, 2017. It was just announced that “Allegiant,” the third book in Veronica Roth’s blockbuster “Divergent” trilogy, will be released as two films. ![]()
