    Any luck of the Saw franchise slowing down was laid to rest this weekend. When Saw 3 opened way above expectations, and much higher then the two previous films. It looks like jigsaw is america's favorite new movie monster. Good news for the Departed, it has stayed strong in second place for three solid weeks. It's now on track to being Scorsese's biggest box office hit. Running with Scissors opened as a dud, some how I'm not really surprised.

Next week we have Borat, Flushed Away from the creators of Wallace and Gromit, and the ultimate Oscar contender Santa Clause 3: All Tim Allen wants for Xmas is his career back.

for next week. borats opening has been significantly scalled back.  (unless thats changed in the past few days).  Who could blame them with the santa clause juggernaut opening the same weekend.  but really i believe its due to concerns over the number of people who really know who borat is.

I have to admit that I was rooting for Saw III just a bit. Hopefully that means even more studios will be willing to take chances on low budget horror movies. I've got more than a few ideas i'd love to pitch.
