Blumhouse and Atomic Monster relaunch as Blumhouse Atomic, keeping the labels separate under one umbrella; the merged shop says it has generated $2.5 billion on $330 million in budgets and is expanding via Sam Zimmerman’s new development-and-acquisitions remit and a Divide/Conquer first-look.
Netflix has set Other Worlds: A Stranger Things Adventure, a 1955 Nevada prequel led by Kate Trefry and Joe Wright; the Duffers and Shawn Levy are back, filming is slated for New Mexico and launch is targeted for 2028.
Sony has landed film rights to Mouthwashing and set Karyn Kusama to direct; Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay are writing, with Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill producing through Crooked Highway.
Paramount has tapped David Bruckner to direct Smile 3; Nick Antosca is scripting and Parker Finn stays onboard as producer while the franchise’s global haul tops $350 million.
Pabrik Gula is getting a 2028 sequel after the original sold more than 5 million tickets in Indonesia and rolled out across Asia, the U.S. and Europe. MD Entertainment is leaning harder into folklore horror, with more IMAX titles, TV-library monetization and platform data driving its franchise playbook.
Netflix is moving Insidious: Out of the Further up to a November 21 U.S. streaming debut, 92 days after its theatrical launch instead of the usual Sony window. The timing reinforces the Sony-Netflix Pay-1 pipeline and gives the franchise an earlier post-theatrical boost.
