With hot properties like The Hunger Games, Divergent getting closer to their inevitable conclusions, the studio is probably looking for their next tentpoles.ย

Furthermore, Feltheimer said he thinks that the sequel could outperform the original at the box office, which grossed $350 million. The sequel to 2013’s action comedy about bank-heisting illusionists reunites syats Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine.
