This past weekend Paranormal Activity 3 premiered in theaters. While hearing some mixed reviews, PA3 managed to rack up $54 million which made it the most successful horror film ever. The previous movie to hold the feat was the franchises second installment PA2 which racked in $40.7 million in its opening weekend. President of Paramount Don Harris says this was the best out of the three films. He was quoted saying the following:
Ultimately, it gets back to why there’s still a theatrical business, why people still go to the movies. We want to laugh in a group, we want to be scared in a group, people like to cry in a group in the dark where nobody can see them crying. It’s all the reason movie theatres exist and this genre has always been front and centre”.
