Hot on the heels of the $30 million plus opening weekend of Paranormal Activity 4 comes word that a 5th entry in the franchise is in development, to the surprise of no one, as well as a Latino themed spinoff.
While this weekend’s number 1 opening was the weakest of any of the four films in the Paranormal Activity franchise (for some reason, audiences weren’t bowled over by a repeat of the first three films, but this time with an X-Box!), it wasn’t quite low enough to keep from Paramount from churning out at least two more films in 2013.
In the Spring, we’ll have the Latino spin-off (hinted at in Paranormal Activity 4’s coda) dealing heavily with Catholicism and witchcraft; in October of 2013, we’ll then have the direct sequel,Paranormal Activity 5, which will hopefully be the last of these things.
I think i was asked to screen the 4th film but opted out because I hadn’t seen any of the other films in the franchise. Maybe the Latino spinoff will be a good entry point but for now it’s just one of those franchises I watch and joy from a distance in utter surprise when another entry is announced (like Saw). That’s all for now…
