I read somewhere over the weekend that it does. Blair Witch was over 400,000% return (I think it made $240mil total?) and PA has already exceeded that.

Distributor Apparition plans to expand the sequel on Nov. 13.

Since I am not bougie and have my head placed firmly up my ass, I am looking forward to both Boondock Saints III (if it becomes a possibility and we're not waiting another decade) and Saw VII based off how the sequels played out.

PA literally cost no more than $15k, so it's definitely beater BWP in that respect.

PA's advertising budget probably dwarfed Blair Witch's. PA was being advertised on pretty much every web site I went to.

BWP spend around $6.5m on ads.
PA spent about $10m.

A recent interview I read with Eduardo Sanchez said that with post-production work and additional tweaking, the final budget of BWP was closer to $500-750k. That quite a big leap from the $60k everyone thinks it was.
PA literally cost no more than $15k, so it's definitely beater BWP in that respect.

BW: $248 million BO minus $1 million budget = $247 million profit.
AP: $84 million BO minus $15,000 budget = $83.xx million profit.
Again, show me how AP has made more profit?
