First there was the "Hunger Games", which drove teens into a frenzy to idolize those stars who appeared as front-runners in the Hollywood world. Jennifer Lawrence received a cataclysmic amount of accolades for her performance, and Josh Hutcherson became everyone's newest boy crush. But now there's a new movie on the scenes, and it's one that's causing just as much of a buzz. "Divergent", which is based on a best-seller, has turned into the newest Hunger Games, and fans are going wild.

Being praised as what many would call "the next Hunger Games", Divergent attracts attention for its action, love story, and impossibly cool futuristic division of community. While it didn't have to do much advertising or PR to appeal to the masses, Divergent was immediately recognized as a potential success, and it rocked its first weekend in the box office. The main characters in the movie are all well-known actors already, and so additionally, that helped gain some notoriety for the film.
While it may not have gotten the same positive critique that the Hunger Games did, Divergent did an amazing job of gathering a following before the film even came out. There are many online polls asking people if they support Katniss, the star of the Hunger Games, or Tris, the heroine of Divergent. Whoever the public decides is the winner, there's one thing for sure: both of these movies won out at the box office, and their continuing sequels are sure to do the same.
