Blumhouse Atomic, the result of a merger between Jason Blum’s Blumhouse and James Wan’s Atomic Monster, announced its new name two years after the companies combined. The merger created a studio that has already generated more than two point five billion dollars in global box office while keeping production budgets below three hundred thirty million dollars. In 2025 and 2026, each year the studio earned over one billion dollars worldwide, with this year’s releases bringing in nearly one point three billion on less than seventy million dollars in production costs. Notable hits include Curry Barker’s Obsession and Kane Parsons’ Backrooms, the highest‑grossing films for Focus Features and A24 respectively. The studio plans to continue operating Blumhouse and Atomic Monster as distinct labels, each with its own creative teams.
