Fuck off you tasteless faggot, as far as FF goes, The Gallows was pretty fucking cash money.
I mean a lot of very miniscule budget movies do sell like hotcakes. The first Clerks movie was a great example.

yup, and sometimes it can make for great movies. Grave Encounters is a great example. One of the best Found Footage movies.
Cost $120k to make, had a box office of $5.4m. That's 45 times it's budget. The movie trailer went viral so its not like they went and spent a ton on marketing either. Add to it VOD, DVD sales, etc.. and you're probably looking at at least 100 times the initial budget in profit.
Cash fucking money right there.
And movies that have a very micro-budget can also boost filmmakers huge careers. Napoleon Dynamite was made less than $400k, and it impressed Fox Searchlight, MTV and Paramount when they shared distribution to release it and made cash money. Hess brothers had a healthy career afterwards, with films like Nacho Libre.

I always thought people watch these movies for the traps, do people actually give a shit about the plot

Mexican Tarantino couldn't agree more
I gave a fuck about the plot inasmuch as I want the characters to be people I root for them to die horribly, or to be scrappy enough I kind of hope they make it through and don't die (but I'm fine if they do)
Oh and even reddit and /tv/ boards' favorite big human bean for you Christopher Nolan started off with making his film that had almost no budget back in 1998 called Following, and it also boosted his career. Not a big fan of Nolan nor most of his works, but it is interesting to note here.
People who only watch the Saw movies are 50/50. Only one half the movies for continuity purposes while the other half are more interested in traps and other torture devices that Jigsaw implements.

If by give a shit about the plot you mean wanting to see what stupid twist they have to keep Tobin Bell acting in the movie despite his character being dead a 1/3rd into a series then absolutely the plot is honestly the best part of the films and I watch for that. Well that and the over the top gore, but that's obvious.

The ridiculously convoluted plot and the insane twists and turns are a huge part of the appeal.

If the first two reboots fail... Trick the consoomers into watching the third one by using nostalgia and Gen Z memes.

I still maintain that killing John off in the 3rd film was the stupidest thing they ever did.
They knew by then it was bound to get more sequels.

I saw Saw, and I saw Saw Two too, but I didn't see Saw Three.
And it's because Lionsgate knew they have a hot new horror cashcow on their hands during the mid-2000s. Most of the movies later on aren't good at all, except for 6 which I really liked, but the marketing for these were incredible during that time.

Dream Warriors by Dokken is BASED AS FUCK. When they shot the music video they would do lines of coke off of Freddy's claws in the trailer during breaks.
I would watch the living shit out of SAW in SPACE. That sounds so fucking retarded it would be awesome by default.

Saw 3 was super unpopular, so Saw 4 basically was a redo of sorts (takes place at the same time as Saw 3 and properly resolves the loose ends of Saw 2) and while it didn't undo Kramer's death, it did establish Hoffman as the new Jigsaw and Hoffman resurrected interest in the Saw franchise purely off the fact that Hoffman was a right and proper asshole villain who had no redeeming value and you wanted to see get his just deserts.
That said, I do hope/wish we eventually get a Spiral/Saw 9 follow-up. It was better than Jigsaw/Saw 8 and actually followed up on the idea of the idea of Kramer spawning Jigsaw cults with different people continuing Kramer's work and how his philosophy was going off into different directions
The box office results would disagree. It was the most popular entry in the Saw series for a while. Saw 4 was when the series went down, except for 6 which was great. Also, Spiral sucked ass that it made Jigsaw look like fucking Citizen Kane by comparison.
Would a bunch of glowie niggers go, "BA DA BING BA DA BOOM?"
