Anyway, Jigsaw didn't bomb in any way, shape or form, but it did post lower-than-normal figures for the once mighty horror franchise. You don’t have to see the prior Saw movies to understand Jigsaw, but if you haven’t seen the prior Saw movies you’re better off watching the prior Saw movies. Partially thanks to being in 3D a year after Avatar, Saw 3D made more overseas ($90.6 million) than any prior Saw. If it gets at least $126.7m worldwide, that'll put the whole Saw franchise over $1 billion worldwide. But at least in North America, this $10 million-budgeted, R-rated chiller is heading for an opening weekend between $14m and $16m.
