The movie website even has a page where you can “demand” it to play in your city.

Several of my co-workers as well as some of my UNC students have said they’re going to tonight’s midnight screening in Durham.

How about you?

UPDATE: Tracking-board.com reporting that Paranormal Activity writer-director Oren Peli has sold “Area 51” to Blumhouse Prods, Jason Blum’s company. Logline under wraps, but it evidently involves home video. I guess which means Peli is creating a whole new sub-genre: Home Video Horror Thrillers!!!
