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.
