Newspapers that are full of reviews of "Saw 2", as well as, optimistic about the release of this movie at the top.
The movie was a success, although the big head was not earned at the top.

DreamWorks predicts that the world will win nearly 200 million US dollars and nearly 1.5 billion yuan at the box office.
Facing high pressure at home, there is no more abroad, even if there are other films that are not in conflict, as NC-level there are always favorites, and they can't be compared with blockbusters, but no one dares not care.
"Boss, we've been successful from the first week, and we expect Saw 2 to reach more than $6,000 at the North American box office. "Danny was in a good position as a distribution manager.
For many years, except for "Dance Out of My Life", there are few people competing for the summit, and the $60 million is indeed very proud, for the summit.
"It doesn't matter, Danny, I can tell you that this is just the beginning, and you'll be busy in the future. As the boss, Wang Meng seemed to speak with confidence and looked calm.
"Boss, did you participate in the promotion of Saw 2? There are a lot of talk shows and interviews that have invited you?" Danny asked.
"Come on, I won't participate, let Liu Zhiyuan take everyone there, I'm very busy. You know, my post-production of The Butterfly Effect is done, and I still have to promote the work, and I'm going to attend the launch of Twilight, oh, it's a headache to think about, and it's a lot of work. Wang Meng waved his hand with a wry smile.
"Okay boss, although it's a pity, you have the final say. Danny was speechless, who didn't catch up with this kind of good thing, why didn't this boss cherish it.
"Danny, when will the launch conference of "Twilight" be held?" Wang Meng asked, and said, "You know, I don't have time to stay in the United States for a long time, I have to rush back to China." ”
"Boss, Manager Marty said that it will be tomorrow afternoon, and you will not be delayed to rush back to China the day after tomorrow. ”
"Okay. Wang Meng nodded: "I know." ”
"By the way, you show me the list of the Twilight Zone. Wang Meng said.
"Okay, wait a minute. ”
After a while, Danny sent a list of the cast and directors of "Twilight", as well as the script.
"Twilight" mainly tells the following words:――
In a place called Fox in the United States, there lived a handsome and handsome young man, Edward. He haunts and is unassailable, and his family is equally secretive and mysterious, because he is a vampire who never ages, let alone dies.
Born in the first year of the 20th century, Edward has never aged since he grew into a seventeen-year-old boy in 1918, and has always maintained his youthful and handsome appearance.
Nearly a hundred years later, he no longer lives by sucking human blood, because Edward and his family, who are also vampires, are vegetarians and only suck the blood of animals.
Isabella, a seventeen-year-old girl, has been dependent on her mother since she was a child, and because her parents' relationship broke down, her mother took her to another city. But when she was older, her mother decided to remarry, and since her stepfather was a baseball player and had to travel back and forth, Isabella returned to her father Charlie at Fox. At school, she befriended the boy Edward, who was quickly attracted to Edward's charm and grew to like him.
However, although Edward also likes Isabella, he knows that a vampire cannot live with humans normally. But he couldn't forget Isabella, and he couldn't bear to fly away, so he cut off news from Isabella.
At this time, another group of blood-sucking vampires came to this place and inadvertently targeted Isabella, and Edward protected her.

Wang Meng took a brief look, and it was almost a copy of the original version.
Including the female lead - Kristen Stewart, the male lead - Robert Pattinson and others.
Picking up Christine's photo, Wang Meng took a look, and sure enough, the Hollywood beauty recognized in the previous life is still very young now. It's beautiful.
Christine is only 18 years old now, right? The previous works were only noticeable at best.
And the photo of the male lead actor Robert Pattinson is also very handsome, and the British singer will also become world-famous with "Twilight". Christine and Robert will become lovers because of "Twilight", although the two broke up again within a few years.
Seeing where Wang Meng was looking at the photos of Christine and Robert, Danny on the side asked, "Boss, are you not satisfied?"
"What?" Wang Meng was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses and said, "No, no, no, I'm very satisfied, it's just ...... Well...... It's beautiful, it's handsome, it's all good. ”
Wang Meng squeaked and whined to justify himself.
He was just sighing just now, who would have thought that these future big stars in Hollywood in the previous life were now actors under him, and he could still decide their fate, which was very different......
Especially Christine, when Wang Meng watched "Twilight" in his last life, she was his goddess.
Danny seemed to be thinking too much about it, and when he saw Wang Meng holding the photo in a trance, he whispered: "Boss, I can ask our heroine for you, I think you are handsome, your talent, your status, Miss Christine, I will like to spend a good night with you." ”
Belch......!!
"Waht?" Wang Meng was speechless.
"Boss, you may not know, Heidi said to me during the audition, Miss Christine admires you, really, I want to ......"
"Okay Danny, it's not what you think, I'll ......" Wang Meng was speechless for a while, this misunderstanding was made.
"Danny, I want to be quiet, can I?" Wang Meng said helplessly: "You can go and get busy." ”
"Uh......" Danny was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay boss, can you tell me what you think, I'll arrange it, I'll be busy first." ”
"I'll wipe it!" Wang Meng was startled by Danny's last words.
"Sure enough, it is a capitalist country that claims to be liberal and democratic, but in fact it is extremely dark. Wang Meng muttered.
