The franchise also attracted Catfish filmmakers Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman who directed the third and fourth movies in the series.
Paranormal Activity was followed by five sequels, exploring the different corners of the vague mythos established in the first film and culminating in 2015’s 3D sequel, The Ghost Dimension.
The seventh Paranormal Activity was previously set to hit theaters on March 19 then slated for a March 4, 2022 release, though with its new Paramount+ debut it’s currently unknown if the film will keep this date.
The six movies have brought in over $890 million worldwide, an impressive haul for their micro-budgets and setting the series up as one of the many fan favorite horror franchises in the mid 2000s.
