Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Glass is a 2019 American superhero thriller film written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan. It is a crossover and sequel to Shyamalan's previous films Unbreakable (2000) and Split (2016) and the third and final installment of the Unbreakable trilogy. Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Spencer Treat Clark, and Charlayne Woodard reprise their Unbreakable roles, while James McAvoy and Anya Taylor-Joy return as their Split characters, with Sarah Paulson, Adam David Thompson, and Luke Kirby joining the cast. The film sees David Dunn / the Overseer as he and Kevin Wendell Crumb / the Horde are captured and placed in a psychiatric facility with Elijah Price / Mr. Glass, where they contemplate the authenticity of their superhuman powers. After the Walt Disney Studios' Touchstone Pictures opted not to finance a sequel to Unbreakable, Shyamalan set out to write Split using a character he had written for Unbreakable but pulled from its script. He decided to create a trilogy of works, using the ending of Split to merge Glass with the Unbreakable narrative. To secure the rights to use Willis' and Jackson's Unbreakable characters, Shyamalan promised to include Disney in the film along with Universal Pictures. Split was a financial and critical success, and by April 2017 Shyamalan announced that he started the production process for Glass. Glass had its world premiere in select Alamo Drafthouse Cinema theaters on January 12, 2019, and was released in the United States on January 18 by Universal Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who found the film "disappointing" and "underwhelming" due to the story, particularly the third act, but praised the performances of the cast; many deemed it the weakest in the trilogy. The film was a financial success, grossing $247 million worldwide against a $20 million production budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
