"PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3" BREAKS RECORD

　　Over the weekend, we saw a very strong new release in the US weekend box office, with "Paranormal Activity 3" soaring to the top of the chart, raking in a staggering ticket sale at 54 million US dollars. Set in 1988, the movie tells the story of two sisters from the first two films in their younger days. It is likely that the Halloween season has contributed to the low-budget fright film, which even surpassed its predecessor, Paranormal Activity 2's 40.7 million US dollars. "Paranormal Activity 3" also broke the records for the biggest October opening ever and the best debut for a horror film.

　　After leading for the past two weekends, "Real Steel" downed 31 percent to an estimated 11.3 million US dollars. The robot boxing movie's total ticket sale reached a remarkable 67.2 million US dollars. Dance movie, "Footloose" took the third spot at 10.9 million US dollars, which is quite notable for a movie targeted at teenage audiences. Through 10 days in theaters, the remake has earned 30.9 million US dollars.

　　"The Three Musketeers" debuted in fourth place with an estimated 8.8 million US dollars. Starred by Milla Jovovich, and Orlando Bloom, the 3D movie revolves around the story of how the musketeers unite together and defeat the villainous Duke, who wants to seize the French throne and engulf Europe in war.

　　No.5 throughout No.8 were holdovers from previous weeks, including "The Ides of March" at 4.9 million US dollars, "Dolphin Tale" at 4.2 million US dollars and "Moneyball" at 4.05 million US dollars.

　　No.9 went to the spy spoof sequel "Johnny English Reborn," which opened at merely 3.8 million US dollars, less than half of its previous installment, "Johnny English" at 9.1 million US dollars.
