Overview
On October 21, 2014, James Wan founded Atomic Monster with the company having 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.
