With $15.8 million in domestic ticket sales and another $6.7 million worldwide, Spiral: From the Book of Saw has helped push the Saw franchise to a major box office milestone: The long-running horror franchise has now earned more than $1 billion worldwide.
For sake of comparison, the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise has earned about $450 million worldwide; Friday the 13th has earned about $465 million internationally.
The new film Spiral, starring Chris Rock, reimagines the horror franchise as a dark cop thriller.
The first run of the franchise wound down with 2010’s Saw 3D, then resumed with 2017’s Jigsaw.
