Strange Coincidence or Done Purposefully (about M Night Shyamalan's Movies)

I was just looking at Shyamalan's movies on IMDB and noticed a strange coincidence in four out of the five movies he's directed, they are the same length within one minute of each other.

Signs-106 minutes
Unbreakable-106 minutes
The Sixth Sense-107 minutes
Praying With Anger-107 minutes

It's not surprising that Wide Awake is the odd film out, considering that it's the film where Shyamalan had the least amount of creative control.

The majority of Woody Allen's films are within 90 minutes.

"I see four movies about the same running time."

Add together all of the running times:

106 + 106 + 107 + 107 + 88 = 514

M. Night Shyamalan's birthday is... May 14. *

Coincidence? I think not!




* Actually, M. Night Shyamalan's birthday is August 10, but that would have been really cool...

He's not done making movies yet...who knows what the final outcome might be.

Is this like how all of Sutter Caine's books fit together like In The Mouth Of Madness?

Somewhere, there's a fictional Philadelphia, with ghosts, supernaturals, and incredibly annoying children...
