Producer Jason Blum recently spoke with Collider about the sequel/trilogy, and confirmed that Glass will have a considerably larger budget than Split did.
$9 million became $275 million at the box office, paving the road to a sequel, titled Glass, which was announced by Universal last month.
The budget is more traditional, still by Hollywood standards a very low budget, but it is not $5 million.
We have a release date in January of 2019, so we have to start shooting pretty soon.
