Blumhouse and James Wan’s Atomic Monster Officially Rebrand as Blumhouse Atomic

Two of horror’s biggest names are making their partnership official with a new identity. Jason Blum and James Wan have announced that their combined horror empire will now operate under the name Blumhouse Atomic, marking the next chapter for the companies that have delivered some of the genre’s biggest hits.

The name change comes two years after Blumhouse and Atomic Monster merged in 2024, bringing together an impressive collection of horror franchises under one roof.

Blumhouse has built its reputation with hits like Paranormal Activity, Get Out, Five Nights at Freddy’s, and M3GAN. Wan’s Atomic Monster has been responsible for major horror properties including The Conjuring and Insidious, along with projects like Mortal Kombat, Aquaman, and The Last Kingdom.

Since joining forces, the companies have worked on films including M3GAN 2.0, Night Swim, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, and Other Mommy.

Blum explained why the new name makes sense for the growing studio in a statement shared with Variety: "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.

"Blumhouse Atomic is a natural evolution of what we’ve built together. The Conjuring franchise, Insidious, Saw... no filmmaker has created more horror franchises than James Wan, and together we’ve brought some of the genre’s most recognizable properties under one roof."

While the studio has plenty of established franchises to keep horror fans coming back, Wan is also interested in finding the next generation of filmmakers who can bring something fresh to the genre.

“The future of horror comes from new voices, and Blumhouse Atomic gives us more ways to find them and support them for the long haul."

That approach is already paying off with filmmakers Curry Barker and Kane Parsons, whose debut features Obsession and Backrooms earned $520 million and $400 million worldwide, respectively.

Blumhouse Atomic also has a packed slate of upcoming horror movies. The studio is developing Mike Flanagan’s new take on The Exorcist, Barker’s Anything But Ghosts, another Paranormal Activity movie, and a reboot of The Blair Witch Project.

Blum and Wan have already helped shape modern horror in a big way, and Blumhouse Atomic gives them an even bigger platform to continue doing it. Between bringing beloved franchises back to theaters and giving emerging filmmakers a chance to scare the hell out of audiences, the studio has plenty to work with.
