Paranormal Activity
June 30, 2010
--
The first Paranormal Activity was filmed on a budget of $15,000 and made close to $200 million worldwide so we're not surprised that they decided to make a sequel.
This time around they have a bigger budget but that doesn't mean a lot of things are gonna change. "We we have money now, but we're staying true to the heart of the movie, to the spirit of it, to the vision," actor Micah Sloat said.
The movie is slated to be released sometime in October 2010, just in time to freak you out during Halloween!

According to the LA Times, Paramount is interested in making the second one while the iron is still hot.
Chairman at Paramount Brad Grey said, "We have the rights on a worldwide basis to do 'Paranormal 2' and we're looking to see if that makes some sense."
The movie cost only $15,000 and has already grossed over $60 million. And we can imagine a few theatergoers are waiting until Halloween night to see the suspenseful film, which will push the numbers even higher.
So can the studio make Paranormal Activity 2 successfully? It didn’t work with Blair Witch Project; their follow-up The Book of Shadows only made $26 million, as opposed to Blair Witch’s $140 million.
Would you see a sequel to Paranormal Activity?
