Blumhouse Aims Sub-$1M Horror While Betting on IP Post-Merger

Jason Blum says Blumhouse will keep horror budgets ultra-low (including sub-$1M projects) even after the Blumhouse–Atomic Monster merger, while expanding into IP-driven titles. The company will balance originals (about 40% of its slate) with IP-heavy releases, aiming to be the 'Disney of Fear' and leveraging post-COVID audience trends. Get Out is highlighted as a turning point, and Blum emphasizes sustaining original storytelling alongside big IP projects across films, TV, and live events.

"Disappointing Reception for New Walking Dead Game"

The new video game based on The Walking Dead TV show, titled The Walking Dead: Destinies, has been receiving negative reviews from fans, with complaints about clunky gameplay, broken mechanics, and poor graphics. The boss fight between Rick and Shane is particularly criticized for its silliness and technical issues. The game, published by Game Mill, is said to be on par with their previous low-quality release, Skull Island: Rise of Kong. Despite the potential hard work of the developers, the lack of support and resources from Game Mill is evident. Overall, it is advised not to purchase this new Walking Dead game.

"Barbenheimer: A Nuke-Threatening Doll Sparks a Shameless Cash-In Movie"

A feature-length film called "Barbenheimer" is in the works, inspired by the dual premiere weekend of Greta Gerwig's Barbie and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. The movie, directed by Charles Band, will focus on Dr. Bambi J. Barbenheimer, a scientist doll who builds a nuclear bomb to destroy the real world due to humans' mistreatment of dolls. The film aims to add levity to the box office and combine Barbie's vibe with the darkness of Oppenheimer for dark humor. The project has not yet begun filming, but it has a script with musical numbers and a budget of just below $1 million.
