Lionsgate CEO Admits Shailene Woodley, Theo James' Film 'Allegiant' Was Not Great
With the heaps of criticism on the Divergent series film, Allegiant, the Lionsgate indie studio CEO Jon Feltheimer has admitted that it might have been released a bit too quickly. Shailene Woodley and Theo James starred the said “not great” movie.
The studio has released an official statement, apologizing honestly for the flop of the third series of Veronica Roth’s YA dystopian novel, as reported in TheWrap. In a conference call to Wall Street experts, Feltheimer said that they might have rushed out the film instead of taking ample time with it because of time pressure. He admitted that they wanted to hit a certain date.
Unquestionably, dates are important but not to the expense of the quality. It should not trade the fact of getting the movie right because it will reflect in the result. With its letdown, the studio was disappointed with the mark sales and poor reviews.
Compared to the previous Woodley and James‘ franchise series, in which Divergent made $288 million and Insurgent collected $297 million, the disappointing Allegiant only marked $66 million domestically. It most likely did not gain a profit as matched to the two.
Moreover, the film was hammered and scrutinized by critics, making it sadly sit at 12 percent as reviewed by an aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
Because of the downfall, the studio heads vowed to handle upcoming film franchises well, beginning with the 2017 Power Rangers. Feltheimer told the analysts that they are really excited about the adaptation movie and even said that they could make five or seven of them. He promised that the materials such as the new costumes will be out soon.
According to Cinema Blend, the announcement made by the CEO of Lionsgate was a bit confusing, specifically the reason why they had to rush the third Shailene Woodley franchise film. There are also queries whether the fourth series, Ascendant, will be released on its slated date, June 9, 2017 since there are no recent news about it.
Will it actually happen? Will it be another terrible film?
