best grossing horror films of 2010

Paranormal activity 2 is the highest grossing film but it was cheap to make as it doesn't use many locations or actors and doesn't use well known actors. Paranormal Activity, Resident Evil And Saw are all sequels, this improves the income as fans of the other film(s) will be desperate to go and see the new one. A Nightmare on Elm Street is a  remake of an old movie, as people will have already seen this film it may have interested them to see how they recreated the special effects etc. Although A Nightmare on Elm Street is second, Paranormal Activity Sold over 2,000,000 more tickets and brought in over $20,000,000.
