baumer Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) I think 3 had 8 mill in midnights.....not good.deadline.comhttp://www.deadline....-5m-late-shows/ Edited October 22, 2012 by Halloween baumer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) Looks like Paranormal Activity 4 will score around $4.5 million right out of the gate. That’s in line with Hollywood’s estimates for a $35M-$40M opening weekend which is more in line with PA2‘s hefty debut of $40.7M than PA3‘s even huger release of $52.6M. I think she meant both which would kinda bad. Edited October 19, 2012 by iTz Only ED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 From guru in 2011: Activity 3 kicked off its record scare with $26.3M on Friday including $8M from Thursday night's 10pm and midnight shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Boxoffice @Boxoffice Paramount reports that PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4 made $4.5 million from evening shows beginning at 9 p.m. Midnight grosses should be in soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Not surprised. In the UK, it's only done around £0.8m in 2 days, and that's with an Orange Wednesday opening. Compared to 2 and 3, that's awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 There's absolutely no way one could say a 40M plus weekend is a disappointment on the shoestring budget this cost to make.. Count on a 5th movie next Halloween and probably the finale of this particular storyline, then the Latino Activity will play out... Plus, every review I've read said the last 10 minutes of PA4 is the best.. If the 4.5 midnights follows the same trajectory of the third, then that means it would only gross 30 mill for the weekend. I don't think it will be that low, but still, this is not a good start at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 It'll be classified as a hit by sunday and be more for the fans.. Again, when you make something like this for roughly 10M, it's impossible to bomb.. I'm not disagreeing with you at all but the marketing budget is closer to 25 mill than 10. It's still going to be a massive hit, no doubt, but this midnight number is indicative of the anger towards 3 that some of us felt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiccup Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 What is the midnight gross for this? Some say 4.5M, the title says "much lower than 3", and Boxoffice.com says the midnights aren't in yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read this:4.5 mill is for Thursday shows before midnight AND for midnight shows. Make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 If Paramount says this 4.5 is only for early shows then that is good....hopefully midnights are not with this....btu according to Nikki, the 4.5 is for all shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
