Back in 2009, Screen Rant’s Kofi Outlaw caught a preview showing of the
indie-produced found-footage film Paranormal Activity – during
director Oren Peli’s campaign to have viewers “demand” film screenings
in their area. Positive word of mouth eventually carried the film into a
wide release and on to $193 million dollars (from a $15,000 budget).
Since that time, the Paranormal Activity sequels have become standard
Halloween season programming at the box office and with low-cost
productions and massive ticket revenue, the films now rank as some of
the most profitable movies ever made.
