‘Saw Patrol’: The next box office showdown is between ‘Saw X’ and ‘Paw Patrol’

Lionsgate has moved up the release of Saw X from Oct. 27 to Sept. 29, setting it to go head-to-head with PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie at the box office. Saw X is the tenth entry in the franchise and takes place between the first two movies, with Tobin Bell returning as the iconic Jigsaw. 

Directed by Kevin Greutert, who also helmed Saw VI and Saw 3D, the film promises to be a thrilling addition to the series. 

Meanwhile, PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie is the second theatrical film based on the popular animated TV series, featuring a talented cast including Mckenna Grace, Taraji P. Henson, Chris Rock (who appeared in the previous Saw movie, Spiral), and Kim Kardashian, along with her children North and Saint West. Both films are expected to draw big crowds and make a splash at the box office in 2023.
