Blumhouse and James Wan’s Atomic Monster have formally adopted a new name for their combined company: Blumhouse Atomic. The studios merged two years ago, and the announcement marks the debut of their shared identity.
The change does not substantially alter how the company works. Blumhouse and Atomic Monster will remain distinct labels under the Blumhouse Atomic umbrella, each with its own creative team. The company’s catalogue includes Wan’s Conjuring franchise, while recent releases Obsession and Backrooms have also performed strongly.
The company reports that its films have earned more than $2.5 billion at the global box office against a combined production budget of $330 million. It says it grossed $1 billion in both 2025 and 2026. In 2026, it has earned nearly $1.3 billion while spending less than $70 million on production, with Backrooms and Obsession becoming hits for distributors A24 and Focus Features.
Projects listed for 2027 include River, The Revenge of La Llorona, The Exorcist: Martyrs, Anything But Ghosts, Paranormal Activity, Molepeople, Blair Witch, Sleepover and Seasons. The company also produces television projects including USA’s The Rainmaker, Prime Video’s Scarpetta and Netflix’s Worst Ever franchise. Other plans include the video game Grave Seasons, a Broadway production of Paranormal Activity and continued work with Universal Halloween Horror Nights.
Jason Blum said the combined company had delivered on the belief that it could be stronger together. He pointed to the studios’ horror franchises and said a new Saw chapter would bring the series back to James Wan. Blumhouse Atomic, he added, aims to combine studio-scale output with independent-company creative freedom and financial discipline.
Wan said the company intends to support new filmmakers and build lasting relationships with them. He named Kane Parsons, Curry Barker, Josh Giuliano and Dylan Clark among the filmmakers with whom it is working.
