2024 has seen an entire slate of originals that has so far been performing well. However, the amount of franchise titles that are set to premiere in 2025 willlikely boost the company’s box office prospects considerably. In addition to the titles that Blum mentioned in his post, the company is also set to release Leigh Whannell’sThe Wolf Manreboot in 2025, meaning that five major horror franchises will be returning throughout the year thanks to Blumhouse.
Blumhouse’s original movies in 2025 will include Jaume Collet-Serra’sThe Woman in the Yardand Christopher Landon’sDrop.
While 2024’s critical reception could improve with the release of the James McAvoy-led remakeSpeak No Evil,Blumhousehas a solid chance at a much better Rotten Tomatoes track record in 2025. WhileFive Nights at Freddy’sand four of the fiveInsidiousmovieshave Rotten scores, the originalThe Black PhoneandM3GANare Certified Fresh at 82% and 93%, respectively, in addition to being theatrical hits. This leaves plenty of room for their sequels to succeed critically, even if they earn slightly lower scores than the previous installments.
