M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Glass’ To Smash $105M+ Worldwide Over MLK Weekend

 

After a post-holiday sleeper period at the box office largely dominated by Warner Bros’ Aquaman, the 2019 box office is set to wake up this weekend with its first, truly fire-breathing event film, Glass, from two-time Oscar nominee M. Night Shyamalan. It is looking at a $105 million-$120 million global start, inclusive of the four-day MLK holiday in the U.S.

There were 25 adverts for this during WWE Raw last night. 25.

This is why just counting the budget to define a movie's success is dumb.

Reviews are good in France for Now.

3,6/5 out of 17 reviews.

For anyone interested, some free studios screenings are being held tomorrow across the country.

Just saw an early screening... and was very disappointed. It's not terrible but, man, I expected so much more.  It starts out strong but drags badly through the middle before really going off the rails at the end. The crowd I saw it with seemed equally unimpressed. I so wanted to like/love this movie, as I love Unbreakable and enjoyed Split a lot, also. I was hoping Shyamalan's career was back on track, but this seems like another step in the wrong direction.  Way too many WTF moments, especially in the third act.  I expect it to sink like a stone after this weekend's strong opening. But I also thought Aquaman's legs would be poor, so what do I know?

THIS.  THIS.  THIS. 

 

Was hoping the reviews were wrong, too...but nah.  It's a hollow shell of a film.

 

Saw it tonight, too.  Such a disappointment.

 

P.S.  (minor spoiler)

 

Spoiler

Night cameos.  Not surprising.  He references Unbreakable.  Not surprising.  But he cameos *as his own character* from Unbreakable (!)  One step too winky-winky nudge nudge.  Just like the whole movie.

Rewatched Unbreakable and that's some good shit

Yeh and this was me watching in the U.K. so these adverts weren’t even during the ad breaks. They were during the program. Actually at one point they upgraded the seats of a family, courtesy of Glass and they were wearing jackets with Glass written on them 😂

After reading the plot, I highly doubt this will have good legs, thanks to the ending. 

[shayhiri]

I expect nothing. Only seeing this for McAvoy.

 

I never saw any Shyamalan renaissance. He obviously is never going to make signature good movies like 6th Sense and The Village again.

So, go see it...I got 2 free tickets to Upside today, and I'm going when I had zero plans for it (and it's reviewed just about as well:)...what's better than a funny or scary movie with a significant other?

 

If I had gotten the 2 free tickets to Glass, I'd be there instead Friday night:)...
