Paranormal Activity Spooks Its Way To #1


Paranormal Activity is continuing to frighten audiences!
The low-budget thriller pulled in $22 mil over the weekend, rounding the flick’s total earnings to close to $67 million!!!
In other horror movie news, the latest installment in the Saw series, Saw VI debuted at number two for the weekend, earning an embarrassing $14.8 million for Lionsgate.
This is a first for the horror franchise, which has managed to take the top spot at the box office for the last four installments of the Saw movies!
Big budget doesn’t always equal big success!
Although we bet we’ll be seeing a zillion Paranormal Activity rip-offs in the coming months, just like what happened when The Blair Witch Project performed well above studio expectations over a decade ago!
