SAW II $30.5 m
LEGEND OF ZORRO $16m
PRIME $6.3m
DREAMER $6.3m ($17m)
WALLACE&GROMIT $4.4 m ($49m)
WEATHERMAN $4.2m
DOOM $4.0 ($22m)
NORTH COUNTRY $3.6 (12m)
THE FOG $3.3 (25.5)
FLIGHTPLAN $2.6 ($81m)

Not good news for ZORRO or DOOM for that matter -- Boxofficemojo writes ZORRO's budget was $75m and DOOM's was $60.

THE FOG, meanwhile, had a budget of $18m so its gross has been more than respectable.

Sad to see Zorro underperforming, but WTF did anyone expect opening a swashbucking adventure movie three days before Halloween?

This should have been a summer release.

Probably wasn't deemed good enough. It's usually a bad sign for any movie when it comes out at this time of the year anyways.

The rest of that lineup is so laughably bad that I'm without words. I daresay: I won't be going back to the theater ANY time soon, at this rate.

but SAW 2 is already an amazing hit and I heard from many many reviewers that it is even better than part 1... can't wait to see it!

at least it is nice to see that a small studio with a tiny budgeted movie beats bigmajor movies and big stars... lol
