So he's now M Night Shymalan? M. Night is honestly, unironically, in a much better position than Todd after this one. His movies make money. You basically have to go back to Lady in the Water to find something of his that bombed. Even After Earth and Last Airbender probably broke even. Hell, even Glass made way past its budget back and that was pretty much exactly as spiteful to the movies it was a sequel to and their fanbase as this is.

Aren't his movies really cheap to make for the most part? He's struggled, but nobody's asking "How did it cost that much", you can tell he spends the money. Of course that's easier to do when according to wikipedia Trap has been his most expensive movie since After Earth, and Trap cost $30 million to make.

Yeah, Shyamalan's MO is to make movies as cheaply as possible. They tend not to make huge money (half of his movies have never made over $100 million), but they're usually mildly profitable.

Yup, he tends to spend less than 20 million, and reliably gets 3-4x that on even modest successes, and more like 10x that on his bigger hits. There's a reason he's been on a roll again of activity, because as a director, he's a very reliable earner.

Officially confimed, "Joker: Menage A Trois" cancelled.
Aww, I was wanting to see what happened when Joker found out that Harley and Poison Ivy had a thing going.

There's probably a good chance the Harley cartoon is gonna go to town on this.

Except this Poison Ivy is just a plant. When it dies someone plants a new one in the same pot.

He should have just burned that script.
