20 Things You Didn't Know About Unbreakable

20. It Had A Budget Bigger Than The Sequels

Unbreakable came out during a time where director M. Night Shyamalan was tipped to be 'the next Steven Spielberg'. Fresh off the success of The Sixth Sense, Shyamalan's next film was Unbreakable, which perhaps explains why it had such an astronomical budget of an estimated $75,000,000.

The sequels that followed however, Split and Glass, arrived during a time when Shyamalan's credibility had been questioned after delivering a number of disastrous films. Unbreakable actually had a higher budget than its two sequels had combined, Split with an estimated $9,000,000 and Glass with an estimated $20,000,000.

Shyamalan also admitted to having to fund these films himself after no studio would agree to back him.
