Halloween weekend attracted thousands to the cinema to watch the last in one of the most successful horror franchises in history – Saw. Saw 3D (or Saw VII for those that saw it in 2D) offered fans the chance to discover the answers to all the questions posed by previous Saw films, only this time in eye-popping 3D.

Saw 3D hit the top spot, grossing an impressive £3.6m in its opening weekend. This is the best opening result of any of the Saw films.

Another horror in the top ten this week is Paranormal Activity 2. Now on its second week in the UK it has grossed over £8.2m.

TWELVE new 3D films are set to hit screens in the UK this year between September and December, a massive increase from 2009 which saw fifteen 3D films released for the whole year.

The appetite for 3D films isn’t showing any signs of abating as recent figures indicate that 3D films achieve an average of 4x the box office revenue of the same film in 2D*.

Animations such as  Despicable Me, Legend of the Guardians, Alpha & Omega and Megamind will all appeal to a young audience in 3D.

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 1, The Hole, The Chronicles of Narnia, Tron Legacy and Gulliver’s Travels will appeal to audiences who love action adventure, and are set to be huge 3D hits this autumn.

And for the slightly older audiences, Saw VII, Jackass and Resident Evil: Afterlife will thrill, scare and entertain in equal measure…every scary twist and turn captured in full glory in 3D!
