According to Digital Spy, Patrick Melton (screenwriter) has come out and said that SAW VII may be the last in the series due to the poor box office results from SAW VI last year. He goes on to say that the studio had originally planned to end it after 8, but due to the box office results it may end a year early. I’m not sure how I feel about this yet. Sure, SAW V wasn’t the greatest installment in the series and it kind of turned a lot of people off to seeing SAW VI, but I feel that 6 actually washed away the bad taste that 5 left in my mouth. So while I would love to see a new installment every year, obviously it has to come to an end, but I don’t think that money should be the reason since the profits on the original SAW alone could have funded all 6 in the series so far. I know, I know, the money Lionsgate has made from the SAW franchise is one of the main reasons they’ve been able to fund a ton of other movies, which I’m grateful for, so I guess as long as they tie everything together in part 7 and end it on a good note I’d have no problem seeing it go.
What do you guys think about SAW VII being the last in the series?
