Weekend Box-Office Report: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY: THE MARKED ONES

box-office-paranormal-activity-marked-ones-frozen

The box-office this weekend offered a bit of a surprise, as Disney's animated feature "Frozen" managed to climb back to the top, scoring $20 million and a domestic total of $297 million, while the "Paranormal Activity" spin-off "The Marked Ones" landed in second place. The found-footage horror has the lowest wide opening of all the "Paranormal Activity" films. The highest-grossing of the five films in the franchise was "Paranormal Activity 3" which earned $52 million in its first three days. Still, "The Marked Ones" had a budget of only $5 million, like most of the franchise's installments, and with an additional $16 million earned overseas, it's still outrageously profitable.

The spin-off's reduced profits could be attributed to the fact that the "Paranormal Activity" films usually do well during Halloween. The decision to throw out this latest installment so soon after the winter holiday is strange, to say the least, but "The Marked Ones" is only a spin-off, and the direct sequel, "Paranormal Activity 5" will be released, as usual, on October 24, 2014.

More box-office details and the complete top 10, after the jump.
