Nah, a billion is for megablockbusters. A box office hit is based more on if it wins its first weekend, how long it does well, how much it actuall makes, etc.

 

100 million will be killer for a 3 million dollar movie. Not many films make it to a billion. They are still huge hits.

It is possible The Purge could end up rethinking things.  I can also see a larger budget for a sequel and the world of the Purge be looked at further.

Like Paranormal activity before it, I think the sequels budget will not be much more.

Purge lends to a larger budget. I fail to see how Paranormal Activity could lend to a larger budget.
