CoolioD1 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I've heard Katie Featherson is in this one more than the last couple, so that's good. She has great tits. (I was going to try and express that last sentence as a euphemism of some kind, but too lazy...) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 PA2 vs PA3 debate - As the fan universe of franchises like this narrows, they have to make better movies or else fans keep dropping by the wayside. Both PA2 and PA3 may have gotten the same flixster score but PA3 needed a much better score to keep all the fans for the fourth part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acsc1312 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I don't think there's any way you can call any installment in this series a disappointment until it's OW doesn't match its budget. Even if this 'only' makes 30M, it easily surpasses its budget in 3 (3.5) days. Insane. This series has made 600m WW FFS. That's on what, a 50M budget total? Insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Just for the record, the budget for the entire series...all four films is about 85 mill now. This one should do 150 minimum WW, so that means they will have made 10X their total budget in 4 films. Yes, that is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted October 19, 2012 Founder / Operator Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) It may not be a financial disappointment (especially with the international returns to come), but it definitely is the low note of the series so far when the audience is shrinking as much as it appears to be. And I can't speak toward this until I see it, but it seems quite a few people consider it a creative disappointment.

CoolioD1 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Oh, and the most annoying thing about Paranormal Activity 3, apart from the use of video tapes there was no waaaay I could buy it being set in the 80s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insane.I think their budget is more hype than real. Chernobyl Diaries supposedly had a very tiny budget but Hollywood Analysts SNL-Kagan called it a flop based on estmates that the movie's actual cost was $89 million when you factor in everything( Production, Worldwide distribution and marketing). For a movie like PA4 the actual cost must be closer to $150 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I think the whole found footage thing is getting old. I even think Chronicle (still a good movie) would have worked better as a traditional movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even think Chronicle (still a good movie) would have worked better as a traditional movie.Yeah, when everyone in the city was filming them that was kinda ridiculous.Also, Kermode pointed out there's a scene where you don't see the camera in the mirror or something.

Jack Nevada Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 The last found footage movie (I havent seen REC) that worked for me was Cloverfield, but even that has the same problem as all ff-films: why dont you just put down that camera? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swivel-fan-cam, surveillance cams, in PA4 it looks like they use a Wii, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 The whole PA3 is stupid, but the end was particularly silly. Theres no fucking way you would keep filming while hiding from ghouls in a closet orrunning away from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkshop36 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Funny thing is that I haven't even seen PA1 and 2 but I watched PA3 a couple of months ago. Maybe that's why I actually enjoyed and thought it was pretty good, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 PA3 had one genious scare, that totally caughg me off guard, and it had the babysitter going "Boo!" at the camera. Nearly shat myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Nice. About time this bore-as-fuck useless horror franchise died.What a great statistics it would be if PA4's total can't match PA3's opening. Has that ever happened to a franchise before?

Jack Nevada Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Is there going to be PA5? I'd rather see more Freddy Kruger movies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
