Spiral: From the Book of Saw aka Saw IX hugely underperformed against expectations showing audience won't just turn up for anything in a post-pandemic buzz. The film scored $8.9m in the US compared to expectations of $15m. The film is easily the worst performing entry and it'll be interesting to see if that affects the already in development Saw X.
