UPDATE: Box Office: Jigsaw is no Match for the Supernatural

Published

Here are the full weekend estimates: ‘Paranormal Activity’ with $22m and ‘Saw VI’ with $14.8m. Bloody Disgusting got their hands on the early box office projects and they’re staggering. While the two big horror films were tracking neck and neck, early reports show that Paranormal Activity beat the living crap out of Lionsgate’s Saw VI. Is Paranormal that powerful or are Saw fans still trying to get the bad taste of Saw V out of their mouth? So here’s the deal: Paranormal Activity pulled in an estimated $7.4m on Friday for a potential $21.5m overall weekend. Saw VI on the other hand, took in $6.9m Friday with a weekend projection of $15.7m. The real shocker is that while Paramount’s supernatural horror flick only played in 1,945 locations, Jigsaw’s games took over 3,036. What’s going to happen with a full marketing push and a full release? I guess now they can set their sights on Blair Witch? And what does this mean for the Saw franchise being that Saw V open to nearly DOUBLE VI?

One of this summer’s most hotly anticipated new movies is A24 and Ti West’s MaXXXine, a follow-up to X and Pearl that brings Mia Goth’s title character into the 1980s.

With her past catching up to her, Maxine attempts to make it big as a superstar in Hollywood, 1985. While you wait, check out a new image below courtesy of USA Today this week.

Releasing in theaters on July 5, 2024, MaXXXine is rated “R” for…

“Strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use.”

If you missed the official trailer, you can watch it right here.

Mia Goth stars alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon in MaXXXine.

Here’s the official plot synopsis from A24 this week: “In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”

Last we saw Maxine in Ti West’s X (2022), she was the sole survivor of a massacre carried out by elderly couple Howard and Pearl in the Summer of ’79. Goth of course pulled double duty as the villain Pearl in that movie, who got her own origin story in Pearl (2022). Pearl and Maxine are different characters, but they share the common goal of wanting to be stars.

Will Maxine finally make it in Hollywood? Or will the demons of her past become her ultimate downfall? With the Night Stalker roaming free, we expect MaXXXine to get wild this summer.
