Paranormal Activity was a great movie. Basically shows that if you know what your doing, you dont need overpaid actors(Jamie Fox)

1.922 Million? Would it have been an insult to call it 1.9 million lol?

Everything tanked.

I'm considering watching Zombieland for a third time because the rest of these films just don't appeal enough to me to shell out the bucks. Plus if I can aid the effort to support Zombieland enough to guarantee a sequel then I will consider myself a true patriot. God bless America.

Wild Things for all its positive reviews, may not even make it's budget.

Zombieland. Highest domestic gross for a zombie movie ever.

I don't understand the hype for Paranormal Activity at all. The production was impressive for how low the budget was, but the movie was still incredibly boring. I could barely stay awake.

Where The Wild Things Are was amazing...everyone should see this.
And $12.3 mil for The Stepfather?! REALLY?!

Law Abiding Citizen was really fun. I can't wait to see this again on blu ray.

Wild Things will make its budget easily...maybe not in the theaters (it'll be close) but its the kind of movie that will draw in almost as much in dvd/blu ray sales.
And go see it...its awesome
The kid playing Max was great

I think with Zombieland making such a huge profit and the fact that it had a small budget, I would not be suprised if Zombieland 2 was greenlit... as long as it has a good script...

Paranormal Activity was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I don't think I've ever been more angry at a movie than I was at this one.

Zombieland is a kick ass movie. I held off on seeing Wild Things this weekend as it might be one of those movies that you hear all the hype and you walk out saying that was the stupidest movie I've ever seen.
