IS "PARANORMAL ACTIVITY" THE MOST PROFITABLE MOVIE OF ALL TIME???
Friday October 30th, 2009

Some entertainment website called TheWrap.com says that "Paranormal Activity" is the MOST PROFITABLE MOVIE OF ALL TIME.

The movie only cost $15,000 to produce . . . and it's raked in $65 million so far.  That's a 434,000% return on the initial investment. 

That number will only get bigger as the movie continues to open to wider audiences.

The second most profitable movie of all time is . . . interestingly enough . . . the movie that "Paranormal Activity" is constantly compared to:  "The Blair Witch Project".

That one cost 60-grand to make, and earned $248.6 million.  That's a 414,000% return.

Nothing else even comes close.  The third most profitable movie is a 1928 film called "Road to Ruin".  It cost $2,500 to make and earned about $2.5 million . . . for a 99,900% return.
