M. Night Shyamalan's Split Coming To Blu-ray/DVD With Deleted Scenes, Alternate Ending

Universal Pictures announced today that M. Night Shyamalan's new thriller Split will be released on home video next month featuring deleted scenes and an alternate ending. It lands on digital platforms on April 4, with a Blu-ray/DVD release scheduled for April 18. Here is the box art:

Given the already-incredible ending to Split, it's exciting to think about what the other ending might be. The ending to Split, like basically every other Shyamalan movie, contains a big surprise reveal. Shyamalan revealed last month that this twist was not in the version of the movie shown to testers, so it's possible this ending is the alternate one that will be on the home video version

Other bonus features include a making-of mini-documentary, featuring the cast and crew talking about how they made the film. Another item is a feature called "The Many Faces of James McAvoy," in which the actor talks about playing a man with 23 different personalities. Lastly, the home video version of Split includes a chapter where the producers, cast, and crew talk about Shyalaman's filmmaking process and how it "gives them the freedom to executive their roles to the fullest."

The ending of Split revealed that McAvoy's character, Kevin, had a 24th personality, The Beast, a bloodthirsty and superhuman force. Not only that, but the final sequence confirmed that Split and another Shyamalan movie, Unbreakable, exist in the same universe.

In an interview, Shyamalan said he hopes to make a movie that combines Split and Unbreakable, which might be the movie that the director recently teased.

Made on a reported budget of $9 million, the movie has now made almost $222 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo.
