LOS ANGELES, Jan 22 (Variety.com) - M. Night Shyamalan s Split has turned into a horror hit with a surprisingly strong $40.2 million in its opening weekend at 3,038 North American locations.

Split, starring James McAvoy as a man with 24 different personalities, performed far above recent expectations for Universal and Blumhouse. It easily topped the 2015 launch of Shyamalans found-footage horror movie The Visit, which scored an opening weekend of $25.4 million.

Split doubled Vin Diesels launch of xXx: Return of Xander Cage , which is heading for a second-place finish for Paramount with $20 million at 3,651 sites in line with recent forecasts. Foxs historical drama Hidden Figures maintained its impressive performance in third with $16.3 million at 3,416 theaters for a domestic total of $84.2 million.

Michael Keatons biopic The Founder showed little traction for the Weinstein Company with a modest $3.8 million weekend at 1,115 locations.
