"the final chapter"

Saw 3D is also called "The Final Chapter", and this wiki should reference it somewhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.193.253.103 (talk) 09:53, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@Special:Contributions/74.193.253.103; this is an ongoing issue/persisting error over a decade later. I have opened a new discussion below.--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 17:06, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Short films

I wanted to ask if this is a good idea to add on the short film list 2 other short films. First "Full Disclosure Report" it was a bonus feature on the DVD of the first film (released on October 31, 2005). It is a pseudo-documentary taking place between Saw and Saw II and is 14 minutes long.

The other short film is "The Scott Tibbs Documentary", It was included in the bonus material of the DVD of Saw II (October 24, 2006) and takes place during and short after Saw II. It is a pseudo-documentary made by Scott Tibbs about Jigsaw and is 16 minutes long.

And wanted also ask: Can motion comic "Saw: Rebirth" be taken as a short film? Derjenigederzukunftseht (talk) 16:23, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Highest-grossing horror franchise"

Is Saw really the highest-grossing horror franchise? Resident Evil is considered the highest-grossing horror franchise according to their main Wikipedia page. This somehow confuses me. If you guys talk about this issue, please let me know. 49.150.72.88 (talk) 14:30, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's "one of the highest grossing" yes. Currently it stands Conjuring, then Resident Evil, then It, then Saw. That's including just box office. From estimated home retail sales, it's either 1st or 2nd. But we don't have those exact numbers yet. It's estimated around another $1 billion have been earned from home media and merchandise. Plainfield95 (talk) 03:58, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Plainfield95 It's been 1 month now, and I'm already noticing that The Conjuring Universe is the highest-grossing horror franchise, with Saw being the fifth. Should we change it? DasKlose (talk) 10:00, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Film titles

There are a couple of films included in the film series, which include sub-titles. For the average reader, wouldn't it be constructive for them to be included in this article? What are the reasons that it continues to be reverted in this article?--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 07:12, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide diffs of this happening? Mike Allen 10:22, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
