I can't believe they made this movie for 11 grand and in it's first week in limited release it made 8 million. How the hell can you make a movie for 11K? Anyone see it. Reviews have been very good.

That ain't shit compared to Blair Witch Project. I know Blair Witch cost like 500K to make which is obviously way more then 11k, but it grossed over $248,000,000.

I saw Blair witch on opening weekend scared the crap out of me.

Movie looks dumb as hell on your home screen though

As far as 'Paranormal Activity' goes. You got my curiosity peaked!

I saw Blair Witch at an early screening in Manhattan. The only other place it was playing was LA. It was nuts, because everyone in the theater (including me) thought it was real.

Can't wait to see Paranormal Activitity.

Many didn't get the concept of Blair Witch and was disappointed in the theater.

It got a lot of criticism from those who didnt understand it, but it was something new & original and brilliant in my opinion......

Paranormal is still in very limited release. Midnight showings I believe.

When Blair Witch came out I waited too long before seeing it and it kinda sucked. Had I see it first weekend it would have been OK. I couldn't figure out why they just didn't follow the river...

Paranormal got so much positive hype that they are releasing it nationwide. It has a VERY limited release which led to it's mediocre $8 million opening weekend. They've already made almost 80,000% so they might as well make more. I wouldn't be surprised if they make a quarter mil from this movie.

I thought BW was about the worst movie I've ever seen.
