Warner Bros. celebrated a $4.4B worldwide 2025 haul and launched a new specialty label Clockwork while downplaying the pending $110B Paramount Skydance acquisition looming over the company; execs announced plans to release 18 films annually and previewed genre titles including Clayface (a Batman villain horror film) and Evil Dead Burn footage.
Paramount (Skydance‑aligned) has picked up a new project from Osgood Perkins set in the Longlegs universe with Nicolas Cage returning as star/producer; the film is not a direct sequel, Neon stepped aside as scope/budget expanded, and Paramount is rapidly leaning into horror via on‑lot genre labels and first‑look deals.
CtrlMovie’s interactive slasher Slay Day will open wide on ~1,000 interactive screens across North America Feb. 12, 2027, using smartphone voting across 50+ decision points and 8,000+ possible outcomes; BasePoint Capital financed the picture under a partnership with Kino Industries’ CtrlMovie and Paramount is developing additional interactive titles.
Blumhouse and James Wan’s Atomic Monster release Lee Cronin’s The Mummy’s Awakening theatrically April 15, 2026 — a strictly horror-driven, psychological reimagining of the 1932 original starring Jack Reynor, Laia Costa and May Calamawy; the piece situates the film within the Universal monster lineage and references the 2017 Tom Cruise Dark Universe’s $400M/$125M topline as context.
Mike Flanagan’s new The Exorcist–adjacent feature officially confirms Carla Gugino will reunite with him alongside ten returning actors from his past films/series — a major franchise attachment for Boulderlight Pictures with Flanagan writing/directing and leveraging his repertory cast.
