Saw 10th Anniversary took in an estimated $650,000 from 2,063 theaters. That's one of the worst debuts ever for a movie playing at over 2,000 theaters: the only titles that earned less are last year's Oogielovers In The BIG Balloon Adventure ($443,901) and 2008's Delgo ($511,920).
$315 theater average.

The brand is no longer very relevant and the film has been widely available on other platforms for years so there was nothing new that the theatrical re-release brought to the table.

I went to see Nightcrawler this weekend (which was excellent) and they forced Saw movie posters on my group & I. Still not gonna make me pay for that ****
For people wondering, I believe they re-released it because its the 10th anniversary this year.
The first move was great, but then it all went downhill and became this sadistic showcase of gorey ways to kill people without any kind of plot development or logic whatsoever which only a very sick, disturbed mind could enjoy.
I don't think I saw on advertisement for it. The series should be put to rest and they can reboot it like 20 years from now if they just don't have any other ideas.
