‘Saw XI’ Announced By Lionsgate Along With 2024 Release Date

“The game continues.”

So reads a post to the official Lionsgate and Saw social media pages this afternoon. Along with it, the date 9.27.24 was posted which, one presumes, is the release date for the 11th film in Lionsgate’s durable franchise. That’s roughly the same window in which Saw X debuted this year.

The tenth installment of the franchise will chronologically take place between Saw I and Saw II. No official word on whether 81-year-old Tobin Bell will be back as the Jigsaw killer, though after 10 installments, it’s likely a safe bet.

Saw X opened to $18 million domestically, which rebounded the franchise greatly. That was up +106% over Spiral‘s $8.75M.

The Saw X opening was just under that of the original movie back in 2004, which was $18.2M. Given the tenth installment’s $13M production cost, it was likely clear to Lionsgate execs that there’s still life in the torture genre franchise.

For trivia purposes: Saw III repped the highest opening for a Saw pic at $33.6M back in 2006. The average domestic opening for a Saw movie through nine pictures is $23M.
