Overview

• Blumhouse is acquiring Twisted Pictures’ 50% ownership of the Saw franchise for approximately $90 million, with Lionsgate retaining the other half.
• The move reunites creator James Wan with the series following Blumhouse’s merger with his Atomic Monster banner in 2024.
• The Saw series has generated over $1 billion at the global box office across ten films since its 2004 debut.
• An eleventh Saw movie, previously slated for 2025, stalled over creative disagreements before the rights sale was negotiated.
• Blumhouse’s proven track record in horror suggests new Saw installments or spin-offs may emerge once the acquisition closes.
