You can't keep a good (or at least profitable) ghost down

What happens when your $15,000 feature makes nearly $200 million at the box office? Well, you find a sequel in there somewhere and get it into theaters asap. And what if your still modestly budgeted $3 million sequel makes another $177 million at the box office? Well, you state that you always imagined it to be a trilogy anyway and get back to work. And if your $5 million "final" installment just happens to rake in another $200 million? Personally I'd say its time for a prequel baby! Yeah!

In keeping with that thought Paramount has announced that Paranormal Activity 4 will be landing in theaters on Oct 19th just in time for Halloween, even though they don't have as much as a script yet (so don't hold me to the 'prequel' bit). Who said Hollywood is out of ideas?
