The Divergent Series: Allegiant (also known simply as Allegiant) is a 2016 American science fiction adventure film directed by Robert Schwentke with a screenplay by Stephen Chbosky, Bill Collage, Adam Cooper, and Noah Oppenheim. It is the first of two cinematic parts based on the novel Allegiant, the final book in the Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth, and the third installment in The Divergent Series,[4][5] produced by Lucy Fisher, Pouya Shabazian, and Douglas Wick, and distributed by Lionsgate. The film stars Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Jeff Daniels, Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Zoë Kravitz, Maggie Q, Ray Stevenson, Daniel Dae Kim, Bill Skarsgård, Octavia Spencer and Naomi Watts. It is the sequel to Insurgent and will be followed by the concluding entry, Ascendant. (Allegiant and Ascendant were originally to be titled Allegiant - Part 1 and Allegiant - Part 2.)[6]

Allegiant was released on March 18, 2016 in theaters and IMAX[7] and was panned by critics.[8]

Plot

The story begins with many of the citizens of Chicago running towards the wall. Soldiers under Evelyn are told to shut down the perimeter, and no one is allowed through. Tris (Shailene Woodley) escapes with Four (Theo James) to journey beyond the wall that encloses Chicago. For the first time, they leave the only city and family they have ever known to find a peaceful solution. Once outside, they learn shocking new truths that render old discoveries meaningless. As the ruthless battle threatens humanity, Tris and Four quickly decide who to trust to survive. Tris must ultimately make difficult choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice and love.

Production

Pre-production

In December 2013, Summit Entertainment announced that the film adaptation of Allegiant, the third and final novel in the Divergent trilogy, would be released in March 2016, serving as the finale of the series, which at the time was planned as a trilogy.[5] On April 11, 2014, the studio decided to split the novel into a two-part film, much like the Harry Potter, Twilight, and Hunger Games franchises did with the finales of their series. Lionsgate Motion Picture Group co-chairmen Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger said in a statement that, "Veronica Roth brings her captivating story to a masterful conclusion in ‘Allegiant,’ a rich, action-packed book with material that is ideally suited to two strong and fulfilling movies. The storytelling arc and world of the characters lend themselves perfectly to two films, a storytelling strategy that has worked very well for us on the two ‘Twilight Breaking Dawn’ films and about which we’re tremendously enthusiastic for the two upcoming ‘Mockingjay’ films of ‘The Hunger Games’ franchise".[12] On July 9, 2014, Noah Oppenheim was announced as the screenwriter for the first part of the Allegiant adaptation.[13] On December 5, 2014, it was announced that Robert Schwentke would return to direct Part 1.[14] On September 10, 2015, it was announced that the two-part finale would be re-titled, with Part 1 being renamed as The Divergent Series: Allegiant and Part 2 as The Divergent Series: Ascendant.[15]

Casting

In March 2015, it was confirmed that Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Ansel Elgort, Zoë Kravitz, Maggie Q, Naomi Watts, Miles Teller, Keiynan Lonsdale, and Octavia Spencer would all reprise their roles from the previous films.[16]

On April 28, 2015, it was reported that Jeff Daniels had joined the cast as David, the leader of the Bureau of Genetic Welfare.[9] On May 1, 2015, it was announced that Bill Skarsgard had joined the cast as Matthew.[10]

Filming

Filming began on May 18, 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia[17][18] and concluded on August 23, 2015. From June 11 to June 23, filming took place at the Lindale Mill in Lindale, Georgia, where the set was being built in late-May.[19]

Music

In December 2015, it was confirmed that Joseph Trapanese would return to compose the score for the film. The first track for the Allegiant soundtrack, "Scars", written by Tove Lo, Jakob Jerlström, Ludvig Söderberg, and performed by Tove Lo, was released as a single on February 19, 2016.

Promotion

A teaser trailer was released on September 15, 2015, followed by a full length trailer two months later, on November 12, 2015. Another full length trailer was released on January 22, 2016.

Reception

Box office

As of March 20, 2016, Allegiant has grossed $29.1 million in North America and $53.4 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $82.5 million.[3] Due to its underperformance, The Hollywood Reporter called it "the second big-budget miss for Lionsgate this year after Gods of Egypt."[20] Many critics have blamed the underperformance of the film due to Lionsgate's decsion to split the last novel into into two pictures.[21][2]

In the United States and Canada, Deadline.com projected the film to make around $28–30 million in its opening weekend from 3,740 theaters, which would make it the lowest opening among the franchise.[22] According to the source, this was due to the polarized reception towards the third Divergent novel. However, the film will benefit from higher IMAX and premium large formats ticket prices.[22] It earned the lowest previews among the series, with $2.35 million from 2,800 theaters.[23] On its opening day, it made $11.9 million (including previews), down 43.6% from Insurgent, becoming the first film in the series failing to open above $20 million. Scott Mendelson of Forbes compared the decline in opening day to the third installment of The Chronicles of Narnia film series, Voyage of the Dawn Treader which had a similar amount of drop.[24] In comparison, the third Hunger Games film, Mockingjay – Part 1 fell only 21% from its prequel.[24] In its opening weekend, the film grossed $29.1 million from 3,740 theaters, finishing second at the box office behind Zootopia ($38 million). It was the first film of the franchise to not finish in first at the box office, and its opening was 46% below Divergent's and 44% behind Insurgent's.[25][26] Lions Gate president of domestic distribution Richard Fay labeled the opening "pretty solid."[2] As a result of the poor opening, Lionsgate’s stock fell the next day, on Monday.[27][21]

The Divergent Series: Allegiant also struggled internationally where Lions Gate does not have operations in most countries and sells distribution rights to partners.[2] It opened in 45 international markets a week ahead of its U.S. debut, from March 9,[28] and will receive a scattered release worldwide. Unlike its predecessor Insurgent, Lionsgate decided to not to have a day and date release for Allegiant, instead they intend to take advantage of various school holidays in the international markets, and at the same time avoid competition with Walt Disney's animated Zootopia.[29] Allegiant took the top spot in its opening day in France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Sweden.[29] In its opening weekend, it earned $25.2 million from over 7,000 screens in 45 countries.[30] It added 32 markets in its second weekend, earning a total of $22 million from 77 countries, which is down 13%.[31] The top openings were in France ($5 million), Brazil ($2.7 million), the United Kingdom and Ireland ($2.6 million), Mexico ($2.4 million).[30][31] In the United Kingdom, it posted the lowest opening in the series, opening at No. 2 behind Kung Fu Panda 3 including previews, which is 37% behind the opening of Insurgent.[32]

Critical response

The Divergent Series: Allegiant was panned by critics.[33] On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 10%, based on 120 reviews, with an average rating of 4/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Allegiant improves on previous entries in The Divergent Series on a few superficial levels, but they aren't enough to counteract a sense of growing boredom with a franchise that's gone on too long."[34] Metacritic gives the film a score of 34 out of 100, based on 31 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[35] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale.[22]

Sequel

The final film in the series, The Divergent Series: Ascendant, will be released on June 9, 2017.[36] It was originally scheduled to be released on March 24, 2017, but in December 2015, Lionsgate placed the upcoming reboot of Power Rangers in Ascendant's former release date.[36][7]

On February 8, 2016, it was confirmed that Schwentke would not return to direct the final film.[37] Three weeks later, Lionsgate announced that Lee Toland Krieger would replace Schwentke as the director of the film.[38]
