LOS ANGELES — Fear has taken hold at the box office with a $41.5 million debut for scary movie “Paranormal Activity 2,” according to studio estimates Sunday.
Paramount Pictures’ follow-up to last year’s micro-budgeted mega-hit “Paranormal Activity” got a jump on Halloween as fans packed theaters for another documentary-style thriller about a household plagued by a menacing spirit.
Paramount also had the No. 2 movie with the stunt comedy “Jackass 3D,” which opened in first place the previous weekend. “Jackass 3D” pulled in $21.6 million, raising its 10-day total to $87.1 million.
Summit Entertainment’s action-comedy “Red” slipped to third with $15 million, lifting its 10-day total to $43.5 million.
