Blum wants to up his theatrical output from 3-4 to 8 titles a year per NYT. Blum's current contract with Uni ends Summer 2024.
Mr. Blum, however, wants Blumhouse to grow — a lot.

And he wants to make another slate of horror flicks for Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming service. Blumhouse also makes television series.
