The past weekend at the US box office was a quiet one with no major new releases, but it was notable for helping one film franchise achieve a new milestone. Spiral, the latest entry in the gory Saw series, had a firm second week in the number one spot and helped push the R-rated franchise past the $1 billion global box office milestone.
Spiral earned $4.6 million in its second weekend in the US, with its combined worldwide box office receipts currently sitting at $22.5 million. In second place was the latest Jason Statham action film Wrath of Man, which saw $2.9 million in ticket sales from 3,007 theaters. The film has done remarkable business overseas though, having made $52.2 million internationally and currently has a global gross of $71 million.

Now Playing: Spiral: From The Book Of Saw (2020) – Official Trailer
In terms of horror box office numbers, the Saw franchise ranks in fifth, way ahead of icons such as Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th and Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street. It’ll still need a few extra sequels to catch up with the current king which has made over $1.9 billion at cinemas so far, The Conjuring frachise.
Survival thriller Those Who Wish Me Dead didn’t budge from its third spot on the box office top ten, bringing in more tepid reviews and another $1.8 million for the Angelina Jolie-starring film. Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon spent its twelfth week in the top ten, moving up a spot to fourth place and made another $1.7 million.
Godzilla vs. Kong also clawed its way up from sixth to fifth place, securing another $1.4 million at cinemas and bringing its global haul to a Kaiju-sized $432.3 million so far. As for the rest of the weekend, a re-release of Scoob! managed to sneak in at eighth place and narrowly beat the comedy sports drama Dream Horse. You can see the full box office results from the past weekend below.
