Lionsgate, the cinematic powerhouse behind the riveting Saw franchise, has unveiled its plans for yet another bone-chilling instalment. Saw XI has been officially scheduled, and the franchise’s Instagram account has confirmed a release date of September 27, 2024.
Following the surprising success of the latest movie, Saw X, the franchise experienced a noteworthy triumph. This instalment emerged as a critical sensation, marking the first within the series to captivate critics and secure a fresh Rotten Tomatoes score. Alongside critical acclaim, it was also a financial triumph, amassing over $107.6 million in global box office revenue against a modest $13 million budget.
Kevin Greutert, a seasoned Saw veteran, helmed Saw X, which notably took a more compassionate stance towards the series’ iconic antagonist, John “Jigsaw” Kramer, portrayed by Tobin Bell. Greutert reflected on the film’s direction, stating, “There are so many directions we could go, but for me, there’s no obvious one coming out of this film. I wanted it to feel like a kind of final send-off for the Jigsaw character, but never say never.”
The franchise’s enduring popularity and the recent success of Saw X have propelled the anticipation surrounding Saw XI. Lionsgate’s commitment to the franchise is evident with the announcement, promising fans another nerve-racking and captivating addition to the saga.
As the studio readies its tools for this upcoming chapter, audiences await with bated breath to witness the continuation of the spine-tingling legacy crafted by the Saw series.
