Jason Blum Hints Paranormal Activity Franchise May Be Over (For Now)
The executive producer of the Paranormal Activity movies says that he thinks it's time to put the franchise to bed. Paranormal Activity and its production company Blumhouse came to prominence at the same time in the late 2000s, with the original film's titanic success propelling the company into the spotlight. The first Paranormal Activity was a scrappy, low-budget found footage shocker about a couple being haunted by an entity in their San Diego home, and it made over 700 times its total budget of around $250,000. The film was followed by four sequels, a Japanese sidequel titled Paranormal Activity 2: Tokyo Night, and the spin-off Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones.
