SAW V and SAW VI Being Shot Back-To-Back?
BloodyDiscusting has heard (read: unconfirmed) that Lionsgate hopes to shoot SAW V and SAW VI back-to-back, with Hackl and crew signed on to both. It looks to me like Lionsgate wants get two in the can before the potential upcoming strike. Plus it seems to me that shooting back-to-back could help costs considerably. But it is a risk, what if SAW V isn’t as profitable as the previous films in the franchise? It seems like a good bet to take:
- SAW was made for $1.2 million and mad $103 million worldwide
- SAW II was made for $4 million and made $147 million worldwide
- SAW III was made for $10 million and made $164 million worldwide
Sure, P&A and exhibitor costs aren’t accounted for, but neither is home video/DVD sales, which is also likely $150 million. A $12 million Saw film would probably have to make less than $25 million at the box office to be a loss. And the escalating box office receipts, what is the chances of that happening?
