Lee Cronin’s ‘The Mummy’ Lives in 2026 from Blumhouse and Atomic Monster
Blumhouse and James Wan’s Atomic Monster have announced their first official monster collaboration, with Lee Cronin’s The Mummy officially announced today and set to arrive in theaters in 2026.
Following Blumhouse’s The Invisible Man and the upcoming Wolf Man reimaginings of classic monsters from the Universal Studios pantheon, writer and director Lee Cronin, the filmmaker behind Evil Dead Rise and The Hole in the Ground, says of his new vision of The Mummy, “This will be unlike any Mummy movie you ever laid eyeballs on before. I’m digging deep into the earth to raise something very ancient and very frightening.”
Cronin is writing and directing the film, produced by Atomic Monster, Blumhouse, and Doppelgängers, for New Line Cinema. The director’s last film Evil Dead Rise for New Line and Warner Bros. Pictures grossed nearly $150 million worldwide.
As previously announced, Atomic Monster and Blumhouse are co-financing the film. James Wan, Jason Blum, and John Keville are producers on the film. Michael Clear, Judson Scott, and Macdara Kelleher are executive producers. Alayna Glasthal is the executive overseeing the project for Atomic Monster.
Lee Cronin’s The Mummy will arrive in theaters on April 17, 2026.
