New release dates for power rangers, the divergent series: Ascendant

Lionsgate has announced new North American release dates for its upcoming Power Rangers movie and the final Divergent film.

Instead of opening on January 13, 2017, Saban's Power Rangers will now open two months later on March 24, Variety reports. Meanwhile, The Divergent Series: Ascendant, which was originally scheduled to open in that March slot, has been pushed to June 9.

This isn't the first time the Mighty Morphin film has been delayed. Power Rangers was originally slated to hit theaters on July 22, 2016, but earlier this year Lionsgate announced a six-month delay, pushing the film to 2017.

The Divergent Series: Ascendant is the second half of Lionsgate's two-part film finale. The first part, subtitled Allegiant, will open next year on March 18.
