Ultimately, Katie takes Hunter and she murders the majority of the family while seemingly under possession. The first installment in the Paranormal Activity franchise is set in October of It follows Katie and Micah, a young couple who have recently moved into a new home together. As the film progresses, the supernatural occurrences around the home grow increasingly stronger to the point where Katie becomes possessed.
The original Paranormal Activity ends with her throwing Micah into the camera and supposedly disappearing. While there are other alternative endings, they are not canonical to the franchise.
Therefore, this timeline follows the original theatrical ending of Micah dying and Katie disappearing. The fourth installment in the Paranormal Activity franchise seems to be a bit out of place and somewhat unimportant to the storyline, being set in November of Katie has, in some way, acquired a child to pose as her son named Robbie who becomes friends with Wyatt. Where To Watch Online. At some point between the second film and now, Katie lost Hunter, and is now trying to get him back in order to sacrifice him to the demons she and her coven worship.
Paranormal Activity 4 still leaves holes in the timeline of the franchise that could get resolved in the upcoming installment. And that's not even taking into account Megamind , which led the way.
It's a record for a non-sequel in that market. It wasn't as impressive in the U. Granted, the source material is better known in Europe, plus it will have a lot more competition when it debuts here, but this is still a great sign going forward. It was a rare winning weekend at the box office, although it came too late to salvage the month, which was a bloody affair and fell tens of millions of dollars further behind last year's pace.
The lone bright spot over the weekend was Puss in Boots , which easily led the way. However, even here there was darkness, as it failed to live up to the low end of expectations. However, while double-digit growth would normally send chills up your spine, not having to deal with Halloween on the weekend itself explains much of that success. That's truly scary. Although it's perhaps an exaggeration to call it the start of the Holiday Season, Puss in Boots ' debut this weekend was intended to give Dreamworks Animation a head start on what will be a very competitive season, and it looks as though it can be called a moderate success.
While that's a very respectable performance for October, it pales in comparison to other films in the franchise. So it's far from certain that this will be the start of a long-lived offshot for the franchise. October 27th, Puss in Boots was pushed up a week and will likely dominate the pre-Halloween weekend with last weekend's winner, Paranormal Activity 3 , coming in a distant second. There are a couple of other new wide releases, In Time and The Rum Diary , but neither are generating a lot of buzz.
There is some good news, as this weekend last year was a real disappointment and there's a chance both Puss in Boots and Paranormal Activity 3 will earn more than last year's number one film, Saw VII. Hopefully October can end on a high note, because it's been a bad month so far. The international box office was pretty slow this week and the only new release to have any impact was Paranormal Activity 3.
Leading the way was the U. Compared to previous installments , these results were mixed. The film was stronger in Australia, but weaker in the U. The winners of our Activity is Good for Your Bones contest were determined and they are Combining the film's opening with its reviews and it suggests serious potential for expansion.
Further expansion is likely, as it is earning some measure of mainstream success, but its bizarre subject matter will prevent it from truly escaping the art house circuit. The industry as a whole has to be breathing a small sigh of relief after the weekend numbers started to come in. Paranormal Activity 3 broke records over the weekend helping the overall box office along the way.
That's comfortably a record for the franchise and will almost certainly top Jackass 3D to become the biggest October's biggest weekend too. October 20th, The box office was terrible last weekend, so much so that it is hard to imagine things won't turnaround this weekend. There is one film, Paranormal Activity 3 , that's almost guaranteed to be a hit, but expectations for the other wide releases range from expensive bomb, The Three Musketeers 3D ; international hit that will flop here, Johnny English Reborn and niche market film just hoping to reach the top ten, The Mighty Macs.
Paranormal Activity 3 might be able to do the same, but the rest of the new releases and the holdovers are not looking good, so there could be a sizable decline in the year-over-year comparison.
There are two new releases opening next week that should be at saturation level theater counts: The Three Musketeers - 3D and Paranormal Activity 3.

We're never entirely sure if that face is going to arrive, but the anticipation is everything. The movie sets us up for it early on, with an amazing shock as a closet door is opened. Of course, we're also waiting because, with two other " Paranormal Activity " films behind it, "Paranormal Activity 3" implicitly understands that we've been through enough tricks in these movies -- the doors that open and slam shut, the thuds and booms and scratchy skitters on the soundtrack, the kitchen utensils that fall with a crash, the spectral shapes that you can almost make out -- to now want to see something more.
The movie is a prequel, set in September , though it doesn't exactly look like an '80s period piece. This time, the family consists of Dennis Christopher Nicholas Smith, who's like a skinny young Gary Dell'Abate , a wedding videographer who has banks of monitors and editing equipment in his home studio; his big-haired sexy wife, Julie Lauren Bittner ; and her two preteen daughters from a previous marriage.
They are Katie Chloe Csengery , who will grow up to be the Katie Featherstone character in the first film, and angel-faced Kristi Jessica Tyler Brown , from "Paranormal Activity 2," here an enigmatic child who can communicate with the spirit world. It's one of this haunted-house movie's best jokes that the ghost on hand is Kristi's invisible friend, ''Toby,'' whom she talks to with a mixture of intimacy and intimidated formality.
As soon as the family begins to hear mysterious sounds in their new home, Dennis insists on rigging up a handful of video cameras as makeshift surveillance devices.
