Jigsaw topped the box office this weekend, but still came in as one of the weakest films in the franchise.
Much was this expected of Jigsaw, the return of the Saw franchise after a six-year hiatus from cinemas.
It’s been a tremendous year for horror movies, as seen by the huge box office success of IT, and this pre-Halloween weekend was another chance for the genre to dominate.
This could thus be more of an indictment of the Saw brand as a whole than of Jigsaw on its own.
