With the raging success of Paranormal Activity I wasn’t surprised they were making a sequel. But I was hesitant they could create the same phenomenon again that made the first so popular. And while it seemed unlikely they managed to get positive reviews and even more buzz.
So of course, there is going to be a Paranormal Activity 3.
Yes Paramount have just announced that there will be a ‘Paranormal Activity 3′ to be released next year. To be fair, the standard so a far has been pretty reasonable. Also, considering the ridiculous amount of profit the films have made, who can blame them!
I don’t envy the eggshells they have to be walking on trying to make lightning strike a third time, but considering the crazy almost non-existant budget these things get made for, they could put out a third and have it flop completely and still not care.
So of course they are making another one.
Paranormal Activity 1 – $15,000 budget – $193m Worldwide Boxoffice
Paranormal Activity 2 – $3m budget – $157m Boxoffice (after 3 weeks)
Still not sure what they spent $3million dollars on considering the first was done for less than I pay in taxes each year, and the second held the same tone and feel.
But its still a staggering number comparing the budget to the money taken in and they barely have to advertise. They will keep making these until they stop making money.
