Here comes the pole of horror
According to what reported by the New York Times , Blumhouse and James Wan with his Atomic Monster are joining their evil forces to give life to a new pole of horror. This way, Wan will become a significant shareholder in Blumhouse, Blum will retain his controlling position, and Universal will also own a big chunk of the pie. This will result in a further strengthening of Universal in Hollywood under Disney. Jason Blum and James Wan are the mega-producers behind horror franchises such as The Conjuring , The Purge , Paranormal Activity , Halloween and many others.
The horror pole arrives: Blumhouse and James Wan together< /h2> James Wan said that he has too many ideas to handle on his own and that he and Blum complement each other, while Blum stated the following in a recent interview:
“James is probably 70 to 80% artist and 30 to 20% businessman, and I'm the other way around. I don't have an idea to turn into a horror film. None. I built a business by recognizing other people's great ideas."

Atomic Monster should therefore become a label under the Blumhouse umbrella. However, it is still good to underline that franchises such as, for example, that of The Conjuring , will remain at Warner Bros; the article highlights that, even after the deal, Wan will continue his work on the franchises involving him at Warner Bros.
