Look how far he fell because of Signs and follow on projects. Everyone agrees that the twist to the end of Sixth Sense was pretty awesome and tied in well with the rest of the movie, but after that, his twist endings have gotten him into more trouble than not.

Every M. Night Shymalan movie, with the exception of the Lady in the Water, has made plenty of money. Producers care about profit, not whether you think their endings are bullshit. (Hey, there's even a song about this very phenomenon.) He has also self-produced everything since Unbreakable. He has a big-budget movie coming out in 2013 with Will Smith in it.

So, why is it again that he's not going to get to write more stories? Or do we, in fact, need to "look further" than M. Night Shymalan?

-Jester

I think the facts about how much his movies make after the first weekend, and overall, (exception here being Sixith Sense) shows how bad his writing/directing is. Follow the links and you'll see how bad he's been doing. Hint, he doesn't do very well. It's typically only due to world wide release that he makes any money (and he's actually bombed serveral times on his last few films).

So yes, if you end up losing money, you won't be writing further unless you can produce it yourself (and most people in the entertainment industry can't).

Einstein said Everything is Relative.
Heisenberg said Everything is Uncertain.
Therefore, everything is relatively uncertain.
