Budgeted at $5 million, "Paranormal Activity 3" had the biggest debut ever for a horror movie! "Paranormal Activity 2" held the crown when it opened a year ago with $40.7 million. "Paranormal Activity 3" also beat the record previously held by another Paramount film, "Jackass 3D" which had the biggest opening ever for an October release.

Not anymore. Sorry "Jackass" folks, but Katie and Kristi and their invisible friend Toby are now the box-office champs!

Falling to the No. 2 spot is "Real Steel." The Hugh Jackman-actioner made $11.3 million, and so far has sold $153.3 million in box-office tickets worldwide!
