Atomic Monster is an American film and television production company, founded in 2014 by James Wan.[2] The company produced The Conjuring Universe, Lights Out, Mortal Kombat, Malignant and M3GAN.[3][4]

Overview

[edit]

James Wan founded Atomic Monster on October 21, 2014. The company has a first-look producing deal with New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Pictures.[5][2]

On August 12, 2016, the company reached a development deal with Chinese company Starlight Media Inc. to help finance films with budgets up to $100 million.[6]

On November 16, 2022, it was announced that the company was in talks to merge with Blumhouse Productions with the company having a shared first-look deal with Universal Pictures. The companies would continue to operate as separate labels, with each maintaining its own creative autonomy and brand identity. The company is using the existing Blumhouse infrastructure to further scale their activities in film, television and new content areas, such as horror-related video games, live entertainment and audio.[7][8][9][10][11] On January 2, 2024, the merger was finalized.[12]
