Blum and Wan’s Blumhouse-Atomic Monster played a key role not only in backing Anything but Ghosts, but also in bringing Focus Features on board to distribute Obsession. Their push played a foundational role in its success, with the film grossing over $111 million worldwide as of June 1.
The logline of Anything but Ghosts reads, “Two fake paranormal investigators must face actual ghosts while dealing with the deception of their own fraudulent business.” A release date for the project is yet to be announced.
