Audiences applauded Shyamalan’s triumphant return to quality films with Split, after a slew of mediocre outings like The Happening and The Last Airbender.
Considering that Split went home with a sizable $275 million worldwide in theaters, there is certainly some room to maneuver with the budget of Shyamalan’s officially-announced followup.
The closing moments of Split feature a last-minute cameo from Bruce Willis, reprising his role as David Dunn from Shyamalan’s 2000 supernatural thriller Unbreakable.
“The budget is more traditional, still by Hollywood standards a very low budget, but it is not $5 million.”
