3D is a gimmick , i just cant get into the movies.. Just so fake.


       A lot of people must be able to.  Otherwise I doubt Avatar would have made almost $1.7 billion dollars at the boxoffice.

And paranormal activity made a billion trillion jagillion dollars at the box office..


Paranormal Activity only made about 108 million at the boxoffice (http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=paranormalactivity.htm).  And Part 2 will probably be in 3d.

And paranormal activity was made with a small budget by a unknown director compared to avatar...

 

and brought in like 600x what it cost to make... Can Avatar say the same?


     It doesn't matter if Avatar can do the same because all it means is that the makers of Paranormal Activity will take some of those profits and put them towards more expensive effects and probably try to take advantage of the popularity of 3d with Paranormal Activity 2 to try to further its appeal.  And there you have it Paranormal Activity 2 another selling point for 3d tvs.

Because you know the guys who made paranormal activity personally, they told you that they were going to do that..

 

 

Point i was making is any movie, Shitty or good will rake in big bucks.. 

 

I suspect there are many parts of the first one they would have rather done in 3d, but couldn't do because of the budget.  Many of the movies' pivotal scenes called out for 3d.  When you can really do things the way you intended them to be and when everyone has seen what you've done the first time, then you up the ante to keep things interesting.

 

And not every movie makes big bucks.  I would say The Orphan is just as good of a film as Paranormal Activity, yet it probably didn't make anywhere near as much money as PA.  Also Let the Right One in is supposed to be the best vampire film in many years, but it hasn't come anywhere near making as much money as Twilight or New Moon.
