Paramount Pictures has officially announced that a new installment in the popular Paranormal Activity franchise will premiere on May 21, 2027. The upcoming film is directed by filmmaker Ian Tuason, with production details kept under wraps. However, it is confirmed that the Melrose lot will co-finance the project alongside Blumhouse and Atomic Monster, two powerhouse production companies known for their success in the horror genre.
Star-studded Production Team and Franchise Legacy
The new Paranormal Activity film boasts a stellar lineup of producers, including Blumhouse-Atomic Monster’s James Wan and Jason Blum, along with Oren Peli, the original creator of the franchise, representing Solana Films. Executive producers include Michael Clear and Judson Scott from Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, as well as Steven Schneider of Room 101 Inc. Their combined experience promises to bring fresh energy and innovation to the iconic supernatural series.
A Franchise That Changed Horror
The original Paranormal Activity, released in 2007, was a groundbreaking film that redefined the horror landscape. Made on a shoestring budget of just $15,000 with an additional $200,000 for post-production, the film went on to gross an astonishing $194 million worldwide. Its impressive return on investment (ROI) established it as one of the most profitable movies in cinema history, proving that small-scale productions could achieve monumental success.
The film’s innovative found-footage style and supernatural themes resonated globally, turning Paranormal Activity into a cultural phenomenon. Its success led to a franchise expansion, with seven total installments: Paranormal Activity 2 (2010), Paranormal Activity 3 (2011), Paranormal Activity 4 (2012), The Marked Ones (2014), The Ghost Dimension (2015), and Next of Kin (2021). Collectively, these films have generated over $900 million at the worldwide box office, cementing Paranormal Activity as a powerhouse in horror cinema.
Looking Ahead to 2027
With the new Paranormal Activity film set for release in 2027, fans and horror enthusiasts can anticipate the continuation of a franchise that has continually pushed the boundaries of supernatural storytelling. As production plans unfold, expectations are high for a movie that will honor the franchise’s legacy while introducing innovative scares for a new generation of viewers.
