I think it has a lot to do with him partnering with Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions. He's had a lot of success with lower budget productions that end up over performing at the box office. Their first film together, 'The Visit', had a $5 million dollar budget and then made nearly $100 million at the box office. Blum also produced Split and Glass. I'm surprised he wasn't involved with Old.
