Atomic Monster is a film and television production company based in the United States, established on October 21, 2014 by James Wan. The studio is recognized for its work on the The Conjuring Universe and the M3GAN series, as well as for producing titles such as Lights Out, Mortal Kombat (2021), Malignant (2021), and The Monkey.
Overview
Atomic Monster was launched by James Wan in 2014 and currently holds a first-look producing agreement with both New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Pictures. In 2016, the company entered into a development partnership with China's Starlight Media Inc., aimed at co-financing films with budgets reaching up to $100 million.
In November 2022, discussions began for a merger between Atomic Monster and Blumhouse Productions, which also shares a first-look deal with Universal Pictures. Despite merging, both entities continue to function as independent labels, preserving their creative independence while utilizing Blumhouse's resources to grow their presence across films, television, horror-themed video games, live events, and audio projects. This merger was officially completed on January 2, 2024.
On June 4, 2025, Blumhouse initiated the purchase of Twisted Pictures' stake in the Saw franchise, with Lionsgate maintaining its involvement. The transaction concluded later that month, returning creative oversight of the franchise to Wan and Leigh Whannell.
