    After a poor showing at the box office for Allegiant, it’s been reported that the last film in the Divergent series Ascendant will have its budget severely slashed.

    Ridley Scott’s latest release, The Martian rocketed to the top of the box office charts in the US this weekend with $55 million, according to studio estimates.

    So far the movie has passed $100 million worldwide already, though that successful launch wasn’t quite enough to send it beyond what Gravity made from it’s October opening.
