Well we can't know anything about BO now, it's all about the movie as a piece of art/story/acting. BO it's one of the last things we'll know about. Personally I'm not even interested in it, of course it's important for the industry but I don't think TLBO is going to be the classic successful movie at the BO. It's another kind of movie..Maybe AC.

Btw super glad of those reviews too :)

BO is important to the industry or to the actors - the bigger the BO means more people see it - good thing.
However some movies serve different purposes eg. for awards or special segments of the market. Not every movie is seen to serve as cash cow. The many screening of TLBO before release is not uncommon. Saw some movies did that before.

For AC, it is a different story and its BO success is important but not the only one purpose - Ubisoft is using movie to boost the game.
 
I haven't watched enough Shyamalan movies to know what his twists are, but unless there's some kind of supernatural power involved the whole plot is ableist as hell. Guy with DID=psychotic and dangerous is a 1950s plot, not a movie that should be made in 2016. What's your theory from the trailer?
Have you seen sixth sense? One of my favorite scary movies of all times.There is one hell of a twist at the end. I am with you on the whole 'been there done that' plot for Split. Crazy guy who kidnaps and tortures people and authorities race to find him. Fingers crossed for a good twist at the end! I will not be surprised if the movie is too long and story becomes redundant after a while with no real suspense or ending to look forward too.

Btw I must say I'm not personally interested in BO but it's undeniable it's important for an actor's career and following roles.

Aprilmayjune, I cant find your post to quote but in regards to submergence, the part James plays is very strong and has a potential to do a lot of good for him. Similar to robbie in Atonement. Alicia's part is very strong as well. If the script has been adapted well, I will definitely enjoy the movie.
