2024 has already gotten off to a strong start on the horror news front with the recent announcement of not one, but TWO different horror films based on Disney’s Mickey Mouse now that it has entered the public domain. It seems the news keeps coming as the 2023 news of James Wan’s Atomic Monster production house merging with Jason Blum’s Blumhouse. Well, it seems the merger has now been completed and the two have become one!
Blum has been quoted as saying, “The preeminent homes for horror are now under one roof,” and according to The Hollywood Reporter, “Under the deal, Blumhouse and Atomic Monster will work as separate labels and retain creative independence, with a three-way ownership structure split by Blum, the majority owner; Wan; and Comcast, the parent company of NBCUniversal.” You can read more about this merger over at The Hollywood Reporter, and we’re curious to know; how do you think this merger will play out? What excites you, and what makes you nervous?
