‘Saw V’ Opens #2 at Box Office, Tell Us What You Thought!

Published

on

Even with a rash of dismal reviews, Lionsgate’s Saw V (review) took in an incredible estimated $30.5 million this weekend for the #2 spot at the box office. The real horror is that Disney continues to take over the month with the major success of HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 and BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA. The $30.5 million opening is on par with the previous SAW films, which means that you can expect SAW VI sooner than later. Hopefully they can reflect back on this one and learn from their mistakes. Don’t forget to write your own reviews and tell other B-D readers what you thought! Also, check out the original short film that was used to pitch the film back on 2003.
