What happened
Jason Blum and James Wan announced the merger of Blumhouse and Atomic Monster, creating the new umbrella title Blumhouse Atomic. The companies will continue to operate as distinct production labels, though Jason Blum stated the merger was a natural evolution of their combined efforts. The combined banners have generated over $2.5 billion in worldwide box office against combined production budgets of less than $330 million.
