As expected, Halloween welcomed the final instalment of the Saw series with open arms. Saw 3D (or Saw VII) topped the weekend US box-office results with $24 million which is better than the previous Saw movie that had earned only $14 million in its first weekend. But the results still do not match the other Saw movies that have managed first weekend collections of more than $30 million. Paranormal Activity 2 slipped to second place but continues to put on a good run that should ensure another sequel in this low budget horror series. A significant achievement was however registered by Jackass 3D that climbed the $100 million barrier at the US box-office during the weekend and is the first movie in the franchise to do so, a milestone not many expected the movie to reach. Way to go! The other interesting story comes from the highly anticipated flick Captain America: The First Avenger. To be shown in theatres in July 2011, the first images of the film have been released. Most depict a uniformed Chris Evans in a war era setting, though the best one for me is the one below. A man walking away with his back to you, unaware that he has a destiny much greater than one he can ever imagine!
