Still doubting the power of the internet, you luddites? Doubt no more.
Paranormal Activity
, a low-budget horror film, was recently granted a (very) limited release in the US by Paramount Pictures. Following online whining from fans, the distributor fired out another few dozen prints. But enthusiasts are demanding a nationwide release.
Paramount (hungry, no doubt, for publicity such as this paragraph) has declared that, if it receives one million requests, it will bung the flick in every multiplex. At time of writing, the gauge was ticking past the 400,000 mark.
