Divergent Drives A Stake In Twilight's First Day Advance Ticket Sales On Fandango
If this kind of sell-out behavior continues over the next couple of weeks prior to its March 21 premiere, there is indeed a good chance the lofty predictions of a $65 million opening weekend will come true. Plus, it could become one of Fandango’s biggest presales in the company’s history. Regardless of my disinterest in Divergent, I’m perfectly happy with anything knocking Twilight’s successes down a couple of notches. 
Wait, Divergent Might Make How Much Its Opening Weekend?
The Internet has no idea what to think about Divergent. On some days in some optimistic corners of cyberspace, it’s painted as the next coming of The Hunger Games, an extremely exciting juggernaut that will inspire all the popular 2014 Halloween costumes and net hundreds of millions in profits. 
Divergent Featurette Shows Off Theo James' Fight Skills, Tris 'Fights Back' In New TV Spot
Advance tickets for Divergent are now on sale, and to mark the occasion, Summit has released a new featurette, which focuses on Theo James character Four. Known to some for TV series Bedlam and Golden Boy, or for his brief but memorable role in an episode of Downton Abbey, James appears to be up for some stunts, particularly as it relates to fight scenes. 
Divergent Author Veronica Roth Praises The Upcoming Adaptation
Of course, Roth’s no dummy. Had she written about disliking the book, it surely would have robbed her of future sales, since book sales tend to skyrocket after the release of a film. And it’s very possible she signed a non-disclosure agreement with the studio that forced her to keep silent about the actual movie, but both parties agreed a little bit of promotion wouldn’t hurt anyone. 
March Movie Preview: The Muppets, Noah And Wes Anderson Usher In A Great Month Of Cinema

Divergent EW Cover Emphasizes The Pressure For This Movie To Succeed
We've actually seen Divergent stars Shailene Woodley and Theo James on the cover of Entertainment Weekly before, so that in itself isn't quite as interesting as the subject matter teased on the magazine's cover. Under the image of Tris and Four is the headline, "All Eyes On Divergent," which is subtitled "Inside the Fan Frenzy... and Why Hollywood Needs the Movie to Succeed." 
Shailene Woodley Fights And Faces Fears In New Divergent Spot
Divergent fans are likely celebrating the fact that we're just one day away from the one-month countdown to the arrival of the feature adaptation of Veronica Roth's novel. The Divergent "Winter Olympics Preview" spot to make the rounds gives us a few new peeks at the film... 
Why Have So Many People Decided They Hate Divergent?
Maybe it’s because fans are burned out on YA adaptations. Maybe it’s because they’re sick of seeing teenage protagonists trying to upend society. Maybe they’re just not buying into Shailene Woodley. I don’t know what it is, but based on everything I’ve seen so far, it’s time to admit the obvious. 
Divergent's Final Theatrical Trailer Teases Bird Attacks, A Mean Dog And Dauntless Action

Shailene Woodley Says Divergent Sequels Should Keep Her Out Of Spider-Man 3
She says in the above clip, “Seeing as how they picked up the next two Divergent films, I don't know how I'd keep my sanity with two big action films in one year." But has anyone said anything about the Divergent sequels actually happening? Is that official?
