If you were at Lionsgate what would your decision be?
There's absolutely no way marketing is 2 mil. It must've been higher than the production budget of the movie. For most movies, it's around a 1x factor of the production budget. For a low-budget horror movie like Saw, I wouldn't be surprised if the marketing budget was significantly HIGHER than the production budget. Then there's the distribution costs, and the cut taken by theaters and overseas distribution partners. It'll make a profit, but that number isn't it.
Id like to note regarding marketing budget, a 30 seconds trailer played before every adbreak on a late night movie for about 3 weeks on the horror channel which would be 2mil at least alone.
If I were Lionsgate Id go ahead with at least 1 more, Lionsgate are running low on franchises now almost all their biggest ones are done (until they do a hungergames spinoff rumoured for a while), keep the budget the same. I think they can at least go to 10. But again we dont know what goes on behind closed doors, they might have wanted Saw IV numbers due to its time off.

They need to make a really good one.
