Jason Blum and James Wan unveiled “Blumhouse Atomic” on November 3, 2026 as the new corporate name for the company formed by the 2024 merger of Blumhouse and Atomic Monster. The merger itself was finalized on January 2, 2024.
Blumhouse and Atomic Monster will continue to operate as separate production labels with their own creative teams, and day-to-day operations will remain largely unchanged — the change is at the corporate level.
The numbers since the merger justify the confidence: the combined company’s horror slate has generated more than $2.5 billion worldwide against combined production budgets under $330 million. 2026 hits included Curry Barker’s “Obsession” (~$520M worldwide) and Kane Parsons’ “Backrooms” (~$400M).
“When we merged our companies, we believed the whole would be greater than the sum of its parts, and that is exactly what has happened,” Blum said in a statement carried by The Hollywood Reporter.
On the slate ahead: Wan is returning to the “Saw” franchise as a producer, and the company is lining up a big 2027 including “The Exorcist: Martyrs” plus reported new “Paranormal Activity” and “Blair Witch” films, per horror-press reports.
