PA2 broke a few records this weekend - highest ever midnight opening for an "R" rated film ($6.3M vs. $4.6M for 'Watchmen"), and highest opening weekend gross - ever - for a horror movie - $41.5M (although I've seen $43.5M posted as well).
It beat out Matt Damon's new movie, "Hereafter".
PA2's budget was $3M. PA1 was shot for $15,000, and made $194M. This is why many actors are also producers.
