Over at Davis DVD they have information regarding the Directors Cut of SAW 3 as well as a SAW Trilogy Box Set. I’m willing to bet we’ll also see a free ticket to SAW 4 packaged with one of these DVDs.

“Lionsgate Home Entertainment will release Saw III: Director’s Cut on October 23rd. The film arrives in a new 120-min. unrated cut featuring an anamorphic widescreen transfer and Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks. Bonus materials on this go-around include separate audio commentaries with writer Leigh Whannell, director Darren Lynn Bousman and Tobin Bell & Shawnee Smith, “Jigsaw’s Plan,” “Filmmaker Favs,” “Looking Tortured Make-up FX Lesson” and “Choose the Death” featurettes, and Hydrovibe Music Video Featuring Shawnee Smith. Retail is $26.98.

Also look for the Saw Trilogy six-disc set that includes all three Unrated 2-disc sets in a limited edition 3-D Puppet Head Box. Retail is $49.98.”

According to www.davisdvd.com

“Lionsgate Home Entertainment has announced Saw II: 2-Disc Uncut Edition for release on October 24th. Presented with an anamorphic widescreen trasnfer of the Unrated Director’s Cut, along with Dolby Digital 5.1 EX and DTS-ES 6.1 tracks….”

There will also be the typical commentary tracks as well as a few “Making of” featurettes, a tribute to Gregg Hoffman and what im most excited about, Zombies, Darren’s short film.

Sounds like I’ll be double dipping yet again into the SAW dvd catalog.

SAW II Opening Weekend Box Office Results

admin — Fri, 19 May 2006 13:55:52 +0000

A year after the smash hit SAW was released to audiences, SAW II is released in October of 2005. With a budget slightly larger than the first one, $4 million vs $2 million, we get an equally, if not better film than the original. On almost 3,000 screens the film pulled in $31,725,652 opening weekend. This is incredible! We saw it the friday it was released and the theater was sold out, we ended up in the front row. I saw it again that sunday to an almost sold out crowd. In its entire run in the theaters, worldwide, the film grossed $144,102,055. Lions Gate is making a killing off of these movies, and rightfully so. The sequel was just as good as the original without the bad acting of Carey Elwes and Danny Glover. This time we get Donnie Wahlberg as the main character, who has always pleasantly surprised me. And of course, with the success of the sequel, part 3 is already in the works.
