Saw X<\/b> debuted in 2nd with $18 million. The $13 million film took another $11.3 million internationally for a global $29.3 million.

Meanwhile, Dumb Money<\/b> saw a wide expansion to 2,837 theaters and took in only $3.5 million. The Expendables 4<\/b> dropped 69% from its debut last weekend to gross $2.49 million. The film will barely pass the $20 million mark by the end of its run, if it even gets to that point.<\/p>\n
