On the whole, the film did not perform very well at the box office. Having been made on an estimated budget of $11,000,000, it went on to earn less than $28,000,000 at movie theaters in North America and a further $68,000,000 in the rest of the world, making it the least commercially successful of all the movies in the Saw franchise. Saw VI was rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for scenes of graphic violence and torture. The film was banned in Malaysia and Thailand.
