5 Reasons Why The SAW Franchise Was A Success

1. It's In The Guinness Book Of Records

guinness-book-of-world-records We all know that it would take a serious amount of talent and skill, yet sometimes it can just take some stupidity and craziness to claim a certain title in this book; but the €˜SAW€™ franchise entered it for a title that they so rightly deserved. This title was €˜The Most Successful Horror Movie Series€™ Pretty much all 7 films were on a low-budget compared to the Action CGI-fest that we see today; the overall budget for all 7 was around $64,000,000 and grossed over a staggering $873,000,000 worldwide. Now of course, you would expect a franchise to make this much after making 7 films, but franchises today don€™t last 7 films unless the story is very strong and that needs to be addressed to satisfy. I think I can safely say that the franchise will hold this title for many, many years to come. Just take my advice and have a few sick bags at the ready, once again you've been warned! So try to stay out of trouble kids, otherwise you may end up expecting a certain visit..... GAME OVER!
