The following is courtesy of IMDB.com:

1Saw IV (2007) $32.1M $32.1M

2Dan in Real Life (2007) $12.1M $12.1M

330 Days of Night (2007) $6.7M $27.3M

4The Game Plan (2007) $6.26M $77.1M

5Why Did I Get Married? (2007) $5.75M $47.3M

6Michael Clayton (2007) $5.03M $28.8M

7Gone Baby Gone (2007) $3.9M $11.3M

8The Comebacks (2007) $3.45M $10M

9We Own the Night (2007) $3.4M $25.1M

10The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) $3.35M $10M

Suprisingly absolutely no one, Saw IV took the top spot this week with an estimated $32.1 mil take, but just a million and change short of Saw 3's opening of $33.6 mil, which still makes it the top moneymaker in the series so far. Dan In Real Life, the other new release this week, opened with $12.1 mil. Everything else are holdovers from last weekend.

Hopefully for next Halloween, maybe one of the other studios will gorw a pair and release a horror flick to compete with the Saw films, mabye give the filmgoers a choice on Halloween weekend instead of releasing the same old thing year after year. Whatever happened to horror movies where monsters used to eat stupid teens making out? Ahh, the good old days...

Nex week, Denzel Washinton and Russel Crowe star in the crime drama American Gangster, DreamWorks releases its latest animated feature Bee Movie, and John Cusack stars in Martin Child. Have a Happy Halloween, and egg a house or two for me.

It's been re-released in certain theaters in 3-D. It was only in about 500 theaters, and it STILL cracked the top 10. Impressive for a movie that's almost 15 years old.

Only movie that I can see competing with Saw is Friday the 13th, and that doesn't come out until 2009. Saw wins again next year.

I think I 'saw' somewhere that Saw V won't be coming out until 2009... The franchise will take a break for 2008.

I read that too, I think the director said he wanted to take a year off to make the movie better. Appertly the only reason they came out with Saw IV this year was to be the first series to have a film come out 4 years in a row.

Until this is 100% confirmed I am just going to assume Saw 5 will be coming out next year.

I saw The Darjeeling Limited yesterday. I bet it's better than at least 9 of the movies on that list.

I have very little interest in movies right now, save for the Sweeney Todd movie coming out in December, and that's only becauseI'm already a fan of the musical.

They already signed Saw 5 & 6. After that, who knows. Not sure how they are going to introduce new characters while still having the plots tie into eachother.

If there's a buck to be made on this franchise, the studio's gonna milk it for all it's worth.

Wait, The Game Plan is up there? That piece of crap Disney movie where a football player has to take care of his daughter or something? THAT IS IN THE TOP 10!?!? Damn, people's taste must be on a downward spiral.

It's that time of the year where most of the studios give us either their Oscar-worthy stuff or dump their drek on the public.

Oh, I can't wait for American Gangster. Too bad the exams are on their way, so I'll watch it in December, right after they have ended.
