Jigsaw is #1


For the weekend of October 27-29, 2017, Jigsaw was the Halloween weekend winner. After a seven-year hiatus, the Saw franchise is back with this eighth installment, but it doesn't look like there's much interest in keeping this thing going. They're cheap to produce, but Jigsaw only had a better opening than Saw VI.

Meanwhile positive reviews didn't help Thank You for Your Service, the second well-reviewed movie in two weeks starring Miles Teller that bombed anyway.

Bad reviews sunk Suburbicon. George Clooney's directing skills have regressed.

Meanwhile Let There Be Light, a Sean Hannity-produced Christian drama starring Kevin Sorbo, had the second-best per-screen average in the top 20.

Also, Amityville: The Awakening, which has been on the shelf for four years, was finally dumped into a handful of theaters, and hardly anyone went.
