**End Update**
Paramount Pictures announced today a very different method of deciding what cities to release Paranormal Activity 3 in first. Only 20 cities will open the film on October 18th before its global release on October 21st, based upon the most fans who, and I quote, “Tweet To See It First.”
How does this work?
–To vote, fans can go to www.ParanormalMovie.com and select their city from a global map, which will also serve as the point of entry to create a tweet with a special set of hash tags that link directly to twitter. Once a tweet posts, it counts as a vote. A leader board will show the top 20 global markets in real-time.–
The “Tweet To See It First” competition is available to audiences worldwide and ends at 11:59 p.m. PDT on Thursday, October 13th. The top 20 cities will be announced on Friday, October 14th.
This is the first of its kind tweet participation between a Studio and the fans to actually make the decision on where the Studio will distribute a film. Will this work? It sure can, and for all of the Paranormal Activity fans it is a sure way to make sure you see the movie before anyone else around the world. Meaning, they will be the first fans to go without sleep for a night because…have you seen the bloody mary scene in the trailer? In case you have not, you can watch the trailer below.
