Blumhouse Halfway to Halloween Event Kicks Off With 'The Mummy' in Theaters Blumhouse, Atomic Monster, New Line Cinema, and Dolby Cinema have partnered to celebrate the Halfway to Halloween event with the premiere of Lee Cronin’s The Mummy in theaters. The one-night event, scheduled for April 16 at 7 p.m., will screen exclusively in Dolby Cinema across 183 AMC Theatres locations in 47 cities nationwide. Tickets for the opening night sneak peek are now available. The premiere is designed to showcase the film in Dolby’s full-precision audio and laser projection, emphasizing the director’s vision for an immersive horror experience. Lee Cronin described the film as one that “gets under your skin in the most literal way possible,” with images so unsettling that viewers may “look away and not be able to stop looking at the same time.” He highlighted the unique experience of watching the film on opening night in Dolby’s format, surrounded by an audience unaware of what’s to come. Jason Blum, founder and CEO of Blumhouse, emphasized the importance of the event for horror fans, stating that “horror fans don’t wait for Halloween—they live in it all year.” This year’s Halfway to Halloween marks a shift from previous years, which featured beloved titles from the Blumhouse-Atomic Monster library. Instead, the event now offers a same-night, first-night premiere for one of the most anticipated horror films of 2026. The film’s simultaneous release across the country in Dolby Cinema aims to create a shared, collective experience for fans.#dolby_cinema #new_line_cinema #blumhouse #atomic_monster #lee_cronin
