After plenty of attempts to find the new young adult movie franchise like Twilight and The Hunger Games, we finally have a winner (money wise).
Divergent did not match the original Twilight’s take of $69 million, but its $56 million is impressive and ensures that the book series will continue in theaters.
This left Muppets Most Wanted wanting with only $16.5 million leaving Kermit and company’s fate for future installments in question.
Next week sees the release of Darren Aronofsky’s Noah and then Captain America: The Winter Soldier in two weeks. It is getting harder to tell when the summer movie season begins.
