M. Night Shyamalan’s latest film Split (review) over performed at the box office this weekend proving once and for all that Shyamalan is at his best when a big studio isn’t standing over his shoulder and interfering with his work.
According to Box Office Mojo Split, budgeted at around $10 million, went on to make an estimated $40.18 million, and is currently the fourth largest January opening of all-time, just ahead of 2008’s Cloverfield. Even cooler it “did awful things” to Vin Diesel’s XXX: The Return of Xander Cage domestically. That one drew in an estimated $20 million domestically, but to be fair it ruled internationally raking in $70.5 million in comparison to Split‘s international take of $5.8 million.
Did you see it? What did you think? And how about that ending? No spoilers please!
