Split | January 20, 2017 | James McAvoy | Directed by M. Night Shyamalan and Produced by Jason Blum

Final predict:

 

DOM: 127M

This is already at like 85M at my theatre. Weekdays almost played like it was winter holidays, and Tuesday saw multiple sell outs.

So here's an interesting question: how much would Split have made if it was released in 2004, back when M. Night Shyamalan could do no wrong?

 

Let's say Split comes out on July 30, 2004, instead of The Village. The plot of the film is exactly the same, though the cast is changed (perhaps Adrien Brody as the kidnapper and Bryce Dallas Howard, Emmy Rossum, and Haylie Duff as the three girls). The critical reception is EXACTLY the same (mid 70s on RT).

 

What would the film's OW and final domestic tally have been? Would it have done better than The Village did? Better than Signs?

With this weekends hold, I think it can go much higher.  Superbowl weekend will have steep drops for all films, of course, but I think this can still survive and do well.

This movie is becoming a cultural phenomenon.

I loved this movie.  The characters were terrific and the premiss was great.  Love, love love it.

I can't believe that I still have to wait one fucking month to watch it, I'm dying to read these spoilers.

Box office reaction videos are a thing?

This is a fun little look into some.... aspects about the ending from a business perspective.

Fascinating. I didn't even think about that.

[WrathOfHan]

I thought of that as I was driving home from the theater

Spoiler

I didn't even think of that. I guess I assumed Unbreakable was also a Universal property. Hopefully all the studio's play nice for the sequel.

I will say this (do we really have to use spoiler tags still? The spoiler period is over in a few hours  ):

 

Spoiler

I hope this convinces Disney to resurrect Touchstone. If I had to guess, Disney will market and distribute the film while Universal will finance and release it on HV like Paramount did with their last few MCU films.

This is so stupid, IMDB shows the date of every single movie, why the hell he started looking in September? LMFAO.
