The past month's been slow at the cineplex, but you can thank Paranormal Activity 3 for giving the people what they want: graininess! The second sequel trounces everything in its path this week, especially other newcomers like The Three Musketeers and Johnny English Reborn. The tally follows.

1. PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3: $26,235,000

2. FOOTLOOSE: $3,475,000 ($23,488,031)

3. REAL STEEL: $3,108,000 ($59,015,640)

4. THE THREE MUSKETEERS: $2,900,000

5. THE IDES OF MARCH: $1,530,000 ($25,789,326)

Also of note: Johnny English Reborn came in at $1.14 million at #8, but it's poised to make $100 million overseas. Who cares about the U.S. anymore? I'm over it.

    Okay, hooray for PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3! I hope it does okay. But....do you want to see
    something REALLY scary??
    Those pictures of Lindsay Lohan and her freaky cheeky makeup. Tape THAT to your doors,
    America, and frighten those little trick-or-treaters the hell away!!!

    Well looks like they may have a real ok movie out now. One thats not some re-make trash! Are some new trash. Where people just jump up and down and
    and can't act worth shit! I will pick it up on DVD. Stop'ed going to the trash show years back. And got a great Home Theatre set up. And I say. Hell with the show!
    Got my own show at home. With my 8 ft wide x 4 ft high screen.

    Big Brother might have a lot to do with its success.

  • This movie was really good. They had a different approach than the first two it was really well done. Without doubt one of the best horror films I’ve seen and I’ve seen a lot. This film will freak you out so don’t take other people’s opinions on it.
