Paramount has turned a nightmare into a dream come true.
This is really a miracle in film history.
The studio's ultra low-budget thriller, 'Paranormal Activity,' took the top spot at the box office this weekend, grossing an estimated $22 million and beating out the latest installment in Lionsgate's long-running horror franchise, 'Saw VI.'
Paramount's chairman, Brad Grey, says the $15,000 film is the most profitable movie in the studio's modern-day history. 'Obviously, it's a bit of a miracle,' he says, noting that Paramount's production, marketing, and distribution teams have worked hard to make the film succeed.
In its fifth weekend at the multiplex, 'Paranormal' has grossed more than $62 million domestically and continued to draw new fans, especially among Hispanics. That's a big figure for a film that has played in such limited release. The film played at fewer than 2,000 locations this weekend but will expand further for Halloween.
In fact, 'Paranormal Activit is really a very good filmamong what I have ever watched.Besides,the scienary in this film is thrilling and make us excited.I like watching thrilled films for I like something exciting .So I am a risk-taker.I have filled my life with thrill things.For example, I will marked a phrase “Paranormal Activity” on my lanyards .
'Saw VI,' on the other hand, played at roughly 1,000 more locations and grossed just $14.8 million in its debut less than half of what the previous four films in the franchise have made during opening weekend. Lionsgate's 'Saw' franchise, though criticized for its graphic, violent nature, is seen as one of the most reliable in Hollywood, grossing more than $350 million at the domestic box office. Industry executives say that competition from Paramount's film significantly hurt the gross.
