The second installment in the three-part Divergent series, Insurgent, snagged the #1 spot in the list of top grossing films over the weekend, earning $54m. FYI, that's only about $500k short of what its 2014 prequel did in its opening week. The prequel closed 2014 with $151m, landing it at #19 for the top grossing films of the year. Will 2015 be a bigger year for the series? Only time will tell.
1. The Divergent Series: Insurgent (Lionsgate) $54m 3,875/$13,942 avg. (debut)
2. Cinderella (Buena Vista) $34m 3,848/$8,964 avg. (week 2)
