Its first appearance is the second - low-down in the chronicle of the enfranchisement , topping only the $ 14.1 million post bySaw VIin 2009 . The widely electronegative reviews most in all probability had something to do with this , as they did not deal the moving-picture show as an appealing option for casual moviegoers . It ’s also worth wondering how much requirement there was for a property that visualise diminishing returns before its respite . Jigsawwas always run to be more of a niche offer than anything else .
Odds are , it wo n’t have much staying force . Word - of - mouthpiece is n’t great , and with Halloween this week , its seasonal appropriateness will soon go by the roadside . Also , Marvel’sThor : Ragnarokopens next week , and that should make over $ 100 million in its opening weekend , steamrolling anything that dares to stand in its way of life . One plus for Lionsgate is thatJigsawcost only $ 10 million to make , and it ’s already brought in $ 25.7 million worldwide , so it ’s turn a little profit .

Coming in 6th is the new war filmThank You For Your Service(read our review ) with $ 3.7 million . It encounter generally positive reviews from critic , but limited cognizance and sports fan fare did it in when it get along to the box office .

Only the Braveis in seventh , grossing $ 3.4 million in its second weekend . The drama is now up to $ 11.9 million domestically .
In eighth isThe Foreigner . Jackie Chan ’s newest action at law vehicle bring in $ 3.2 million , raising its U.S. total to $ 28.8 million .
fall through into ninth place is George Clooney ’s latest directorial effort , Suburbicon(read our follow-up ) , earning only $ 2.8 million in its first three days . Despite having a talented dramatis personae and crew , the film was lambaste by critic for its messy , tonally - confused story that lacked any forward-moving impulse .
