Paramount on "Paranormal Activity" SequelPosted: November 3rd, 2009 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
  When Paramount Pictures first learned that "Paranormal Activity" became a hit, they immediately announced that a sequel will be considered. Apparently its now out of the consideration phase and is closer to becoming reality.
During Viacom's earnings call on Tuesday morning, CEO Philippe Dauman said that "Paranormal" is a type of hit that comes along only rarely. And to have the sequel be just as popular, Paramount will have to come up with a unique strategy to have the same element of surprise as the original. "Our team will come up with the right creative and marketing approach," he told analysts.
"Paranormal Activity" was made for $15,000 and has already earned over $85 million domestically. The film still has an international release coming up, so the earnings will keep growing.

There's one way they can make more money with a second installment... have the chick show her tits on camera this time!
And I really don't care if she died or got possessed in the first movie, cause she'd still have paranormal tits, with or without a demon up her plump tush!

"is a type of hit that comes along only rarely."
And once again, the movie going public sinks lower

It amazes me how production studios do not understand that when something is great and stands alone without need for a sequel or spinoff, they choose to go through with one anyway. Some movies I could care less about (Transformers for example...and i enjoyed the shit outta the 2nd one) but rare surprises like Paranormal Activity just deserve to be left alone and be remembered for what they are and not for the unnecessary careless sequel. Guaranteed the next one will be made for like $5 million and wont nearly as good or nearly as scary.

If stupid cunts stopped wasting there money on shit remakes and sequels then movie studios wouldn't keep on making them,of course if they make money then the studios will keep on dishing out unoriginal rubbish and we will end up with Paranormal Activity 8.
The retarded movie going public are the retards to blame not Hollywood.

@Derp - I've said the same thing several times on here.
@murphys - no argument here. But you must know that ANY movie that makes this kind of return will be given a sequel... at least once. They'd be fools not to. Even if the 2nd. one sucks farts outta dead cows... they'd make a fortune (because of people's expectations now), before word got out that it did suck.
I don't blame them... I'd do the same and milk this thing 'til it's tits went Lohan!

@Ranger: I knew that a sequel was inevitable, its just amazing that studios forget about making good movies...just bankable ones, the ignorance is amazing.
This is like the proposed Cloverfield sequel, like really, what the fuck can you do to make it any more different?

And guaranteed in the sequel they cast like DiCaprio and Winslet as the tormented couple. Very, very, very rarely do horror films work with known actors and Paramount will probably find a way to ignore that rule and fuck up the unnecessary sequel.
Vacancy is the only exception I can think of regarding known names in a horror film and it ended up not failing.

I really like this movie but I dont want to see a sequal.
I dont understand why people hated BW2. I think I am the only person that liked it. That movie was better than any horror movies I have seen in a long time.

@murphyslaw93 - not always bankable either.
Ever see a RoboCop sequel?!
You know a movie is bad when you rent it and they include FREE Imodium and an airsick bag!
