Saw 6 Tagline: The Game Comes Full Circle
Saw 6’s Opening Weekend Performance is Worse Than Expected: Just a little information for you before we go any further. No other Saw movie has ever opened to less than a $30 million debut. So, how did Saw 6 fit into those stats? It didn’t. It opened to a disappointing $15 million (just shy of that actually). That dollar amount was enough to secure a number two spot out of it’s weekend opening movie competition, but that that doesn’t say much.
Release Date (everywhere): October 23rd, 2009
Their Plot Synopsis: Special Agent Strahm is dead, and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw’s legacy. However, when the FBI draws closer to Hoffman, he is forced to set a game into motion, and Jigsaw’s grand scheme is finally understood.
Starring: Tobin Bell and Costas Mandylor
My Thoughts: When I first saw “Saw”, I was hooked. I haven’t missed a single one of these movies, but I (as many others) have become increasingly annoyed at the movies. Each one to be released was detracting from the original “feel and appeal” of the first movie. The idea was so original and was made even better by a great film based on that great idea. There is no doubt this movie is going to be the top weekend movie at this weekends movies, but I just really hope that it is because it deserves it and not just because this movie has all its previous hype as the driving force.
One last thought about this movie…I can’t wait to see how Tanedra Howard (the girl who got the role in the movie by winning the reality show “Scream Queens”) does in this movie. I actually watched that reality show and I was gunning for her to win it the whole time.
The Buzz: There is a lot of it… Seriously though, this movie is being talked about by everybody “What will the twist be” “Is jigsaw really still alive” “Will it be as good as the first one”…so on and so forth. There aren’t many details about this movie out there, so I guess we’re all just stuck going to have to see it.
