M. Night Shymalan Glass will debut at number one in the box office. Also, it’s expected to debut around $60-70 million dollars during the weekend.
After, all the bad reviews it will still do record breaking numbers for a film at the box office over the long Martin Luther King Jr. weekend.
Glass is the final part of the of trilogy, In The 2000’s Unbreakable, still holds up today even if it was ahead of the curve on the rise of superhero cinema and the use of comic book tropes. At its core, the film is using the basics of superhero comics to write about the rise of a superhero, David Dunn (Bruce Willis), and supervillain, Elijah Price aka Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson) within the confines of a realistic narrative. Then Unbreakable got a backdoor sequel in the closing moments of 2016’s Split, which follows Kevin Wendell Crumb (James McAvoy), a man with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) whose split personalities kidnap innocent women to feed them to an alter known as The Beast.
Shyamalan wrote, directed, and financed “Glass,” which carries a $20 million budget. We had the opportunity to speak with Shyamalan at the Glass Premiere.
