James McAvoy recently revealed the “only” film he still "consistently" receives residuals from is M. Night Shyamalan’s “Split": “You get the odd check for, you know, a couple 100 quid here or sometimes you get checks for, like, 25 cents and you’re like, ‘It literally costs more to post this than it did for me to cash it. But the only one that really consistently pays me is ‘Split.’” “I think it was made for like $6 million or something like that? And let’s say they spent 30 advertising it. In our first weekend, we made 40, so we were in profit,” McAvoy continued. “Our first residual check came at the end of the first weekend. It was bonkers.” variety.com/2026/film/news/j…
