Night Shyamalan’s Glass got off to an okay yesterday, earning $16 million on Friday. Sure, we all wondered/hoped that Split’s popularity, Unbreakable cult status and the general M. Night Shyamalan comeback narrative would lift this one into the comparative stratosphere. If Glass opening only about as well as Split feels disappointing, perhaps Split merely overperformed and the general audience interest in Unbreakable was overrepresented by the online film community. Also, by selling itself as an Unbreakable sequel (nostalgia!) Yes, it peaked on opening day, but this is still a bonkers performance for a movie that wasn't really on anyone's radar.
