SAW IV - Opening Weekend Odds from Bodog

Boy, that Jigsaw is something else. If you’re a junkie, callous surgeon or deadbeat dad, then you might very well find yourself caught in one of his elaborate and gruesome traps designed to punish the wicked. Of course, I’m talking about the mastermind villain from the blockbuster Saw franchise.

One of the most successful franchises in recent history, just look at what the first three films have done at the box office.

SAW FRANCHISE NUMBERS

The first film was shot on a budget of $1.2 million. It earned over $55 million at the U.S. box office and went on to make $102,917,772 worldwide.

Saw II was made for $4 million and raked in $87 million in the U.S. It grossed $144 million worldwide.

Saw III had a budget a $9.98 million. It grossed $80,238,724 in the United States and $150,907,724 around the globe.

SAW IV

The latest entry in the franchise, Saw IV, is scheduled to open on October 26th, 2007. Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) and his apprentice Amanda (Shawnee Smith) are dead, but the game is far from over. Two FBI profilers and a police detective (Costas Mandylor) must sift through the remaining clues before someone else dies. It’s also promised that we’ll learn more about Jigsaw’s past and his true intentions.

The film originally received an NC-17 rating by those tightasses at the MPAA. This was later reduced to an R after certain scenes were trimmed. Even with the changes, there’s no doubt that this one will be wall-to-wall blood and guts - perfect viewing for the Halloween crowd.

And for fans of the series, rest assured that his baby is just going to keep on rolling. Plans are already underway to make both Saw V and Saw VI.
