It's amazing how well the Saw films did. Every one of them made a huge profit, despite mostly negative reviews from critics.
Saw:
Budget: $1.2 million
Box office: $102 million.
Saw II:
Budget: $4 million
Box office: $147.7 million
Saw III
Budget: $10 million
Box office: $164.8 million
Saw IV
Budget: $10 million
Box office: $139 million
Saw V

Box office: $113.8 million
Saw VI

Thats $858 million at the box office for the series. Then there's comic books, toys, video games, amusement park rides, clothing, and the soundtracks.
Very impressive. Makes you wonder what they could have done had the story/direction of the films actually made some sense.
