Actor James McAvoy said in a recent interview that M. Night Shyamalan's 2016 horror film Split is the only project from his career that "really consistently" pays him residual checks. McAvoy, who has starred in Atonement and X-Men: First Class among others, said other checks are typically for small amounts. The comments, reported by Variety, highlight how unevenly residual payments can be distributed even for prominent actors with extensive filmographies.
