The Jig Is Up

In A Reel Shocker... Paranormal Activity beats Halloween franchise king as Saw VI is cut down at the weekend box office....!!




Pamela McClintock of Variety:

In one of the bigger surprises of the year, Paramount’s “Paranormal Activity” took down Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures’ “Saw VI” at the domestic box office, grossing an estimated $22 million from 1,945 theaters to easily win the weekend.

Exact numbers weren’t immediately available, but “Saw VI” grossed somewhere in the mid-teens as it launched in more than 3,000 theaters.

It is the first time the “Saw” franchise has been defeated...


Adam B. Vary of EW says:

See ya, Saw....

The Weekend's Top 10 Chart

Given the pic's big win--It's not a shock that the studio suits are talking 'Paranormal' sequel...
