‘This Is It’ Dominates Halloween Weekend Over ‘Paranormal Activity’
The new documentary concert film Michael Jackson’s This Is It was #1 in the box office this past Halloween weekend (Oct 30 – Nov 1). Trailing it in the #2 slot was Paranormal Activity which is still raking in the cash, $11,000 to make and it’s earned $84 million. Talk about turning a profit.
