Since 2004, Wan and Blumhouse have a combined box office of $11.6 billion.

This is very sneaky big news. You’re talking about two of the most prolific producers of horror, joining forces. Blum can run the business side and Wan can input his genius creative visions. Talk about a win-win

I hope they do.
