"Split," itself already a quasi-sequel to "Unbreakable" — one of Shyamalan's earlier movies with a passionate cult following — was a surprise hit at the box office, earning $275 million worldwide on a relatively tiny $9 million budget.

Rumors about a potential sequel have been swirling around, but it's now a reality, and fans will not doubt be delighted.
Shyamalan said it "was always my dream to have both films collide in this third film."
