James McAvoy Reveals the Only Movie of His That Still ‘Consistently’ Pays Good Residuals

It's not any of the X-Men films The post James McAvoy Reveals the Only Movie of His That Still ‘Consistently’ Pays Good Residuals appeared first on TheWrap .

James McAvoy, the accomplished actor, has shared that only one of his films, "Split," continues to generate consistent residual income for him. Contrary to popular belief, this isn't one of his X-Men movies. McAvoy discussed this on the latest episode of Josh Horowitz's "Happy Sad Confused" podcast, alongside promoting his directorial debut, "California Schemin." Upon the podcast's conclusion, McAvoy hinted at his future shift towards directing, jokingly noting that acting pays more.

Responding to Horowitz's playful reference to McAvoy's earnings from "Wanted," the actor quipped, "Sweet, sweet 'Wanted' money." However, when asked about the residual checks he does receive, McAvoy revealed that "Split" is the sole film that pays him consistently. According to the actor, the film's modest budget, combined with strong box office performance, led to a sizable profit, resulting in a significant residual check at the end of its first weekend.
