Anyway...I'm about to watch 3 now...we shall see.
The saw series have def cleaned up pretty well, but I'm assuming you're talking about $100M oppening weekend. 100m isn't very much at all for gross figures of a holly blockbuster. They prolly spent twice that marketing the 1st movie alone.

Saw is one of the recent 'net popular' movies. They get spread around the net and accross message boards and it gets hyped up as the best movie ever even before a trailer is put together. Also, the writers and creators of the movies are known to browse the message boards looking for how they can make it better. I think this is one of the reasons it's done well. I'm just not big on sequels I guess unless it's all one whole story (like kill bill or LOTR).
