Paranormal Activity 2

[Scarebaby]

I'm a very grateful audience for horror films, since I'm super jumpy and easily frightened. I had my boyfriend narrate most part of PA while I hid under a blanket, so I am definitely looking forward to PA2. Not sure he is though.

I really like it's previous part.I hope it's upcoming part will up to that level that I expect from this movie...:):)

Im just not sure that PA2 can bring anything different without ruining the effect of the first. I was not scared by the first film but I fear that anything they try to do better in the second will only make it worse for me.

I think this film will either be exactly the same as the first or will go over the top and spoil it.

You don't like Paranormal Activity movie?? I really like this movie. It's a great movie & I am sure it's upcoming part will surely be as amazing as it's first part..:):)

Im actually really looking forward to PA2. I loved PA1 it wasn't tremendously scary but it really brings horror back to its roots of not knowing whats going on. We as Humans crave knowledge and when we cant have that knowledge we begin to freak out. Humans will always scare themselves better then anything else.

It's release is nearing it's date. I am expecting it to perform well.

I just saw it last night with my boyfriend, and i am honestly not too sure what to think about it. i did appreciate the fact that it was a prequel to the first paranormal activity... but i did find it not as affective as the first when i saw the credits rolling after about a minute of darkness... this disappointed me a little. to me it just took away the aura of creepiness that i got from the first one that left me chilled for weeks, now that was fun :)

also from searching for the existence of alternate endings like the first PA, i found on Google answers that there will be releases when the DVD comes out. from what Ive come to research i found that the endings go as follows: (in not too much detail)

1st) Katie comes back (possessed) and kills the family and takes the baby and leaves into the unknown
2nd) Katie comes back takes the baby and snaps his neck
3rd) the baby is found in the street. (where the original trailer leads us)

However, i saw the first ending and was a little disappointed because the last two seem more gory and generally interesting to watch. I also find myself confused when i actually did this research and found testimonies of the endings that people saw, i'm wondering why the three endings are all being shown in different parts of the country or even the world? i also wonder do the different places that "Demanded It" with higher ratings get the most gory ending and the places with less demands get the no-so-scary very mild ending?
i truly wonder..... what do you think?

Friday's and Saturday's North American grosses and weekend and cume for the Top 10 are:

1. Paranormal Activity 2 (Paramount) NEW [3,216 Theaters]
Friday $20M,
Saturday $14M,
Weekend $43.5M

The success of Paranormal Activity 2 is a classic case of, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Like the sleeper smash original, the sequel was made for a bare bones budget of $3 million and now is the biggest horror opening ever (record held by Friday The 13th at $40.5M). The director of the first Paranormal Activity, Oren Peli, stayed on as producer along with Akiva Goldsman and Jason Blum. Katie Featherston, who was at the center of the first film's action, also returned.

The production and its viral and online marketing campaign stayed true to the original, even down to the intimate handheld style of the first with its so-called "found footage" positioning and a media budget half of what a studio would normally spend to get film to this gross.

Paramount was gushing what a "spectacular number" $6.3 million is from 1,800 midnight screening locations, passing Watchmen's $4.6 million as the highest midnight grosser of all time for an "R"-rated pic. Whereas the first film started off as a sleeper in a few college town locations and expanded its release week by week as word of mouth grew and a smart TV ad campaign got going,

Hollywood was convinced that PA2 could break the $30 million barrier, always tough for any R-rated flick. But $43.5M is overwhelming. Especially since the best weekend of the first was $21.1M. Rotten Tomatoes showcased 75% positive reviews for the horror film, almost as good as the original's 82%.

"There is no Blair Witch curse here," a Paramount exec gushed.
