M. Night Shyamalan's Glass: Everything We Know So Far

7. It's A Rare Collaboration Between Two Studios

It's not often you hear about two rival movie studios coming together to work on a project.

Besides the Disney/Sony Spider-Man deal (that saw the webslinger enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe), it's hard to think of another high-profile case - until now.

It all started with Unbreakable. That film was released by Touchstone - a subsidiary of Disney - in 2000. However, Split was released by Universal. So, Shyamalan had to ask Disney if he could use Bruce Willis' David Dunn for Split's twist ending, since the character is owned by the House of Mouse.

After that deal went through and Split proved to be a huge success, more talks followed and the two studios decided to collaborate on Glass.

As a result, Buena Vista International - another subsidiary of Disney - will distribute the film internationally, while Universal will handle North America.

Isn't it nice when we all get along?

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
