Wow, like we didn't expect this! It wasn't long after the opening weekend of "Paranormal Activity 4" that it was announced that a fifth film was coming, to the surprise of nobody ha ha. What was kind of surprising was the announcement of a Latino themed spin off, after the last spin off "Paranormal Activity 2: Tokyo Nights" which wasn't officially a spin off but did suck bad time according to all the reviews I've seen.
"While this weekend’s number 1 opening was the weakest of any of the four films in the Paranormal Activity franchise
(for some reason, audiences weren’t bowled over by a repeat of the
first three films, but this time with an X-Box!), it wasn’t quite low
enough to keep from Paramount from churning out at least two more films
in 2013.
In the Spring, we’ll have the Latino spin-off (hinted at in Paranormal Activity 4’s coda) dealing heavily with Catholicism and witchcraft; in October of 2013, we’ll then have the direct sequel,Paranormal Activity 5, which will hopefully be the last of these things."
I loved the first film an the second was pretty good but the third missed the mark by a wholeeeee way, but when I heard the fourth made like $50 million dollars in the opening 5 days I was impressed. But it does seem like going to watch the "Paranormal Activity" films has become some what of a trend, people only seem to be going to say "yeah I've seen it" to their friends they aren't going to enjoy the film. Kind of the way them idiots continue to wear the 3D glasses days and sometimes weeks after they've seen the films, I mean come on people!
