Vidi, vidi, vidi, vidi, vidi = Bucks

The mathematics of James Wan's original short film "Saw" (2003):

00:09:27 in length

Total franchise box office, worldwide: $873.3M

00:09:27 = 567 seconds

when divided into the total worldwide box office...

$873,300,000 ­­÷ 567"

equates to a short film that burgeoned into a franchise that,

if based on the original short film's length,

would be currently valued at: 

ONE
MILLION
FIVE
HUNDRED
FORTY
THOUSAND
TWO
HUNDRED
ELEVEN
DOLLARS
(and sixty-four cents).

PER

$E¢OND.

Myself, I like the short.  It merited 9'27" of my attention.  AND I watched it on YouTube, so I didn't have to fork over any cash, so I'm good.
