Blumhouse Productions Faces Box Office Challenges Amid Competition | AI News Digest

In an unexpected development, Blumhouse Productions, renowned for its successful low-budget horror films, is facing a decline in box office revenues. While the studio has a track record of hits like the 'Paranormal Activity' and 'Halloween' series, its recent offerings have struggled to draw in crowds. The latest release, 'Black Phone 2,' opened at the top of the box office with $27.3 million—a figure that, while respectable, pales in comparison to previous triumphs and highlights a broader trend of dwindling ticket sales across the film industry. Analysts point to Blumhouse's increasing focus on rebooting familiar franchises as a potential factor in its current predicament, especially as competition from rival studios heats up. The outlook for Blumhouse's future projects remains uncertain as it grapples with these challenges.
