Overview

• Blumhouse eliminated six junior and support positions across its film, television and casting divisions last week.
• A spokesperson confirmed that the studio employs about 100 people and made the cuts as part of a companywide restructuring.
• All affected staffers were junior executives and support personnel including Creative Development Manager Haley Pigman, and none had worked on M3GAN 2.0.
• The 2025 layoffs continue a downsizing trend that began with under-10 positions cut in Blumhouse Television after President Chris McCumber stepped down in early 2023.
• The independent horror studio remains on track with upcoming titles such as Black Phone 2 and Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 under its lean operational framework.
