Lionsgate’s
Spiral: From The Book of Saw, starring Chris Rock and Samuel L. Jackson and featuring a 21 Savage-assisted soundtrack, topped the domestic box office on its opening weekend, earning $8.7 million, Deadline reports.
While the numbers aren’t close to initial projections, which hovered around $10-15 million mark for the horror film, it still finished as the sixth No. 1 opening for a
Saw film. The last one was 2017’s
Jigsaw, which opened with $16.6 million, according to Rotten Tomatoes. The latest, directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, follows a police vet and his partner as they investigate a series of murders that are similar to past serial killings.

Angelina Jolie’s Those Who Wish Me Dead didn’t do much to revive the North American box office
LOS ANGELES: Angelina Jolie’s survival action thriller “Those Who Wish Me Dead” didn’t do much to revive the North American box office. The Warner Bros. film, which debuted simultaneously on the streaming service HBO Max, took in a paltry $2.8 million in its opening weekend.
The movie’s hybrid release on HBO Max likely isn’t the reason “Those Who Wish Me Dead” sold hardly any tickets; “Godzilla vs. Kong” and “Mortal Kombat” were both recent Warner Bros. films that were able to generate decent box office revenues despite being released concurrently on a streaming service.
