‘Paranormal Activity 2′ Talks Already Beginning
Paranormal Activity is doing great in the box office, so now a sequel is likely.
Paramount Pictures is hoping so, as the studio is actively considering producing a sequel to “Paranormal Activity,” the out-of-the-blue horror flick that cost $15,000 to produce and has sold $62.5 million worth of tickets so far domestically.
“We have the rights on a worldwide basis to do ‘Paranormal 2′ and we’re looking to see if that makes some sense,” Paramount Chairman Brad Grey said in an interview today.
In an industry obsessed with building franchises, a second “Paranormal Activity” seems like a no-brainer. The studio acquired the movie for just $300,000 and has spent less than $10 million on marketing, relying primarily on word-of-mouth and Internet buzz. It is on track to gross more than $100 million domestically. That would make it, Grey said, the most profitable film for Paramount since he took over in 2005 and, quite possibly, in the studio’s history.
I’d be willing to bet money that this sequel will get made. I’d also be willing to bet it won’t be any good. It’ll probably cost ten to twenty times what the first one cost (not hard since it was made for $13,000) and be so overdone it won’t even been scary. Remember Blair Witch 2? Didn’t think so.
