James McAvoy has starred in films including “Speak No Evil,” “Atonement” and “X-Men: First Class,” but he recently revealed the “only” film he still consistently receives residuals from is M. Night Shyamalan’s 2016 horror “Split.”

“You get the odd check for, you know, a couple 100 quid here or sometimes you get checks for, like, 25 cents and you’re like, ‘It literally costs more to post this than it did for me to cash it,’” McAvoy said during a recent episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast. “But the only one that really consistently pays me is ‘Split.’”
