'Divergent' a dual hit at box office, bookstores
It's good news for novelist Veronica Roth: "Divergent" may be a hit at the box workplace and a blockbuster at book stores.
A spokeswoman for HarperCollins Children's Books said Tuesday that the young adult series set in a dystopian future has been selling 500,000 copies every week over the past 3 weeks.
The movie "Divergent" is based on the first book and stars Shailene Woodley, Theo James and Kate Winslet. The action-thriller was released March 21 and has already created nearly $100 million.
The first "Divergent" book was revealed in 201one, and total sales for the series currently exceed eighteen million copies. As of Tuesday afternoon, four of the top 10 sellers on Amazon.com were "Divergent" books.
