Bruce Willis Was Obligated to Be in The Sixth Sense

Back in 1997, Bruce Willis was producing and starring in Broadway Brawler but not even three weeks into production, things started going south. Disputes led Willis to fire the director, Lee Grant, and other members of the crew before he eventually dropped out himself. It's rare for a studio to scrap a film after production has started and they lost $17.5 million as a result.

To make up for the loss, Willis signed a three-picture deal with Disney. The three films he did were Armageddon, The Sixth Sense, and The Kid.
