Blumhouse Productions is an American movie production company, founded in 2004 and run by Jason Blum. Blumhouse produces micro-budget and low-budget genre movies like the Paranormal Activity, Insidious, and Sinister franchises.
According to various stories, the company’s model is to produce these movies independently and then release them wide through the studio system. They have a first-look deal with Universal Pictures. Blumhouse’s highly profitable credits began in 2009 with Paranormal Activity, which was made for just $15,000. The film was released by Paramount Pictures and grossed a whopping $193 million worldwide at the box office, even before disc , download and TV sales. The company produced the Paranormal sequels, Insidious which grossed over $97 million worldwide on a budget of $1.5m, and Sinister, which so far has grossed over $87 million worldwide on a budget of $3 million.
The company has worked with directors such as Scott Derrickson, James DeMonaco, Oren Peli, Scott Stewart and James Wan. Blumhouse’s films include its first for Universal — The Purge, Insidious: Chapter Two, and Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones ($90.9 million).
For Halloween 2012, the company opened the Blumhouse of Horrors, an interactive haunted house experience in Downtown Los Angeles. In 2015, they published The Blumhouse Book of Nightmares: The Haunted City.
