Glass Is Expected To Have Third-Biggest MLK Weekend Opening Ever

<p>M. Night Shyamalan's latest movie, Glass, opened this past weekend, and it's expected to win the weekend by a large margin and become one of the most successful releases ever over the Martin Luther King. Jr long weekend. <a href="https://deadline.com/2019/01/glass-m-night-shyamalan-opening-weekend-box-office-1202537391/">According to Deadline</a>, Glass is tracking to make $47 million over the Friday-Monday period in the United States and Canada.</p><p>It's set to become the third biggest domestic release over the MLK long weekend, only behind Ride Along ($48.6 million) and American Sniper ($107.2 million). A finance source told Deadline that Glass' opening-weekend box office haul is "disappointing and profitable at the same time."</p><div data-embed-type="tweet" data-src="https://twitter.com/MNightShyamalan/status/1086427942618583041"><blockquote align="center" class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" data-mce-disable-toolbar="true"><p dir="ltr">As <a href="https://twitter.com/GlassMovie?ref_src=twsrc^tfw">@GlassMovie</a> opens around the world today, I feel so very lucky. Cinema has always been sacred to me. My religion in many ways. To be able to add my voice to the mix. I can not thank the fans enough for making this happen. Here we go!!!</p> — M. Night Shyamalan (@MNightShyamalan) <a href="https://twitter.com/MNightShyamalan/status/1086427942618583041?ref_src=twsrc^tfw">January 19, 2019</a></blockquote><text></text></div><p>Shyamalan paid the $20 million production budget for Glass <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/m-night-shyamalan-financed-glass-himself-to-the-tu/1100-6464506/">out of his own pocket</a>. The film made a further $48.5 million from international markets, which boosts its three-day global box office figure to $89.1 million as of Sunday and $95.5 million counting all four days.</p><p>For comparison, Shyamalan's previous film, Split, made $40.6 million in the US and Canada over its first three days, according to <a href="https://ew.com/movies/2019/01/20/m-night-shyamalan-glass-tops-mlk-box-office/">Entertainment Weekly</a>. Unbreakable, which is also connected to Split and Glass, made $30.3 million over its first three days back in 2000--and that works out to around $49.7 million today.</p><p>It looks like Glass is yet another profitable film for Shyamalan, even if critics were <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/glass-2018-review-roundup/1100-6464301/">not exactly over the moon for it</a>.</p><p> </p>
