Played Cards Against Humanity with the family. My sister-in-law picked this card and gasped. She didn’t choose my answer as the funniest and I lost to my brother-in-law.
All my love and respect to my big brother Bruce Willis. I know his wonderful family is surrounding him with support and strength. He will always be that hero on that poster on my wall as kid.
What will you discover in paradise? ⏳ Watch the trailer to my new film OLD.

On my birthday 20 years ago today, my film
#TheSixthSense
was released. We went to the movie theaters & watched nervously. Every time someone bought a ticket to TSS my heart soared. Thank you to everyone who has bought a ticket to any of my films since then. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I love the final poster. Like some old film noir. The graphic posters are my favorite. It’s a throwback film in many ways. Can not wait for you to see it in theaters.

Knock, knock. The trailer for my next film

about my newest film until premiere day on 2/3/23.
Finished draft 7 of new feature script. Screenwriting makes me so miserable & brings me such peace. It is every one of my flaws & every one of my strengths laid bare under the harshest of bulbs. To stay unflinching under that light is the trick.
Got a black eye when Anthony Davis of the Lakers ran into me and my wife at the
@sixers
game. No apology from him. Don’t want one. I’ll take a black eye for every win we get! Go Philly! Can’t wait for next game I attend.
#sixersfans
Thank you to all who made
@KnockAtTheCabin
the number one film this weekend! I am pinching myself that this is the seventh time this has happened to me. This is the fourth in a row with
@UniversalPics
. Much love to James Cameron, he’s a hero to me. Glad to be in theaters with you
Movie posters mean so much to me. I hang original posters of my favorite films in my office and home. They keep me inspired.
@PosterPosse
&
@oldthemovie
would love to make a poster for you. Send me your wildest vacation story and you may get a special movie poster in return
Thank you to everyone who went to see
@GlassMovie
in the first three days! Amazing!! We were the biggest film in the world. Whoohoo! To be allowed to make up crazy stories in your head then have this happen... it’s unbelievable.
#grateful
As
@GlassMovie
opens around the world today, I feel so very lucky. Cinema has always been sacred to me. My religion in many ways. To be able to add my voice to the mix. I can not thank the fans enough for making this happen. Here we go!!!
Here is our final trailer for
#KnockAtTheCabin
! I’ve never worked so hard on a film. Crew and cast gave their all and made something extra special. We all can not wait to see you in the theaters February 3rd.
Woke up to news that we were
#1
again at the box office in the U.S.!
@GlassMovie
These films are made with a close knit family of crew here in Philly. It means a ton to them, me and our city. From the bottom of my heart... thank you!
When I was a kid, I dreamed I was a real superhero. Then I twisted my ankle in a b-ball game and realized I wasn’t. But I kept dreaming maybe someone else is...
My first 2 films played for only a few days in a handful of theaters before failing and being pulled.
@GlassMovie
passed 200million globally this weekend. This is now the 8th time I’ve done that in my career. This is beyond a dream come true.
Heard Chris Nolan is coming to
@UniversalPics
to make his next picture. So happy to have a friend I admire so much come to a home that has supported my films in the theaters the way Universal has. The theatrical experience is non-replaceable.
Over 100million worldwide in 4 days.
@GlassMovie
Thank you guys so much! For smaller films to compete and succeed at this level is amazing. I’m working on my Apple show and it’s inspiring me to be even more idiosyncratic and risk taking.
#letsgetweird
For third time straight I wake up on a Sunday to hear
@GlassMovie
is
#1
at the box office. I have always counted on the audience’s ability to accept dark & new voices. They alone have allowed me to be a filmmaker for this long.
Saw
#OnceUponATimeInHollywood
loved it. Quentin and I made our fist films at the same time. (To me he is one of the cool kids. I’ve always been shy to meet him.) He has always been an inspiration. I have admired him. I’m so glad his voice is out there in the world.
These two men don’t do this, and I become a doctor and a lot patients would have had a distracted Indian dude who keeps daydreaming about stories as he looks at their x-ray.
This is me and my daughter Ishana in Ireland. We are location scouting her first writer/director feature there. I’m so moved and inspired by her. She leads everyone with grace and creative fire.
Found this photo in my parent’s house. Notice my friend Clark scratching his head trying to understand why I dressed like this for my 8 year old swim party.
So lovely to hear
@GlassMovie
film is at 221million around the world and had strong holds here in the US and around the world. Thank you to the fans who continue to keep coming to our alt superhero film!
Had an idea.
Pitched it to
@UniversalPics
Feeling incredibly grateful.
Inspired by all I work with.
Honored to tell you guys another story in 2024.

Tomorrow I begin shooting my show for Apple. Just handed over
@GlassMovie
to be delivered to the studios. Looking over the story boards for the pilot in my kitchen. Nervous. Like a film student. Want to deliver for everyone.
For my fellow film nerds:
@oldthemovie
was inspired by classic movies. Some of them are: Nicholas Roeg’s Walkabout, Peter Weir’s Picnic at Hanging Rock, Kaneto Shindo’s Kuroneko, Luis Bunuel’s The Exterminating Angel, Steven Spielberg’s Jaws & of course The Twilight Zone tv show.
Today Glass will cross 230million globally and still chugging. Combined
@GlassMovie
and
@splitmovie
have grossed over 500million. Un-be-lieve-able! It’s hard out there for non-CGI driven original content films. Thank you for coming to see these stories in the movie theaters!
It’s Happening. I can’t believe it's been almost 20 years since
#Signs
was released. I’ll be catching up with Abigail Breslin
@yoabbaabba
, TOMORROW at 2pm ET / 11am PT via IG Live to reflect on the making of Signs, discuss the lasting legacy of the film, and celebrate 20 years.
One week out from
@GlassMovie
I am filled with so many emotions. I just landed in philly so happy to be home. The trilogy closing feels like a chapter is closing in my career. I can not tell you how grateful I am to tell stories to you guys.
I love basketball. Have become friends with a few basketball players over the years.
@JHarden13
and I hung out recently. Just tried to get away from all the hustle and bustle of life. This is what happened.
I have begun casting my new film which we will shoot as soon as it is safe. I have been overwhelmed by the auditions. Recorded in homes all around the world. With such staggering numbers. The talent has been extraordinary. Thank you for auditioning for me! Truly moved.
Film is locked. Score is finished. Mix is done. Off to Spain, Germany, and England to promote
@GlassMovie
can’t tell you how grateful I feel to fans and

@oldthemovie
Thank you to everyone who went to see
@oldthemovie
on opening days all over the world! I can not express how much it means to all of us who made this story. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Love going to plays and to find actors for my films. I try to hire theater trained actors as a rule. I tend towards long takes with very little coverage & require from my actors a fanatical commitment to the specific & to give with abandon. The theater trains actors to do this.
So grateful. We are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary with our extended family and close friends from 30 years. Love from our family to all of you.
Storyboarding my new film. Then these came in. So many memories. When it came out I was down because I felt people didn’t like it. (Honestly I was worried about other people’s opinion of me.) 21 years later my heart soars when I see anything to do with it.

20 years ago on Thanksgiving day
#Unbreakable
was in the theaters. It had just been released the day before. Remembering and so thankful on this day. This is Mr. Glass’ cane from the film. Haven’t held it in a decade. Might need this after eating today!
#HappyThanksgiving
Went for jury duty. Wasn’t selected for, as it turns out, a very serious trial. But was very touched by all involved and the responsibility they and all of us hold. As I left, staff printed out posters of their favorite films of mine to sign. Lovely people. Wish everyone peace.
🙏🏽
@GlassMovie
is at 162million world wide after 10 days! We were

My new film opens on July 23, 2021. That marks the 4th decade my films have been released in theaters. All I can say to others who are different or trying something new is your voice however resisted has a distinct power. Never let someone talk you out of it.
#weneedeveryvoice
During quarantine made the difficult and costly decision to shoot on 35mm film. It was the best decision I could have made. There is nothing like film. Period.
@oldthemovie
No one is my office building so I went snooping and found these old school disks with my early scripts. I remember the feel of these and what they meant to me. They remind me of how much I dreamed about being a filmmaker.
Tomorrow is my 50th birthday and I'd love to celebrate it with you all and do a Q&A. If you have any questions about film or being an artist, I'd love to talk. Send in your Q's with
#AskMNight
and meet me back here tomorrow at 3pm ET
Got to see
@JoelEmbiid
set the
@sixers
record tonight by scoring 70 points. It’s inspiring to see someone at the top of their field still being playful like a child. Happy for Philadelphia. Happy for him and the team. Now back to editing a film!
I told my kids… The system is made to perpetuate the mores & achievements that existed before. Trying to systemize the same thing over & over. There’s no room for you. That doesn’t mean don’t join the system that reaches everyone. Do. Just bring a sledgehammer when you do.
