Horror Mogul Jason Blum Honored with Prestigious Producers Guild Milestone Award

Jason Blum, the visionary producer and founder of Blumhouse, is set to receive the prestigious Milestone Award from the Producers Guild of America (PGA). This significant honor will be bestowed upon him at the 37th Annual Producers Guild Awards ceremony, scheduled for February 28, at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.

Expressing his gratitude, Blum stated, “I’m moved to be recognized by my peers with this year’s Milestone Award. Fifteen years ago, I was a struggling independent producer, and I could never have imagined receiving an honor like this. I’m grateful to Stephanie, Donald, and the PGA for this recognition.” This sentiment reflects a remarkable journey from independent filmmaking to becoming a dominant force in the entertainment industry.

Blum, a two-time Primetime Emmy Award-winning producer, established Blumhouse, a prolific film, television, and gaming company renowned for its focus on the horror genre. His innovative approach to filmmaking, often characterized by modest budgets yielding significant returns, has reshaped industry perceptions. In 2024, Blumhouse further expanded its influence by merging with James Wan’s Atomic Monster, a collaboration that has collectively generated nearly $10 billion in the worldwide box office, underscoring their immense commercial and critical success.

PGA Presidents Stephanie Allain and Donald De Line lauded Blum’s impact, noting, “Jason Blum has redefined what’s possible in independent filmmaking, proving that bold vision and creative ingenuity can create global cultural touchstones, even with modest resources. Through Blumhouse, he has championed fearless storytellers, nurtured fresh voices, and established a body of work that spans some of the most successful and inventive films and series of our time. We are proud to recognize his remarkable contributions with the Milestone Award.”

The PGA’s Milestone Award is specifically designed to honor individuals or teams who have made historic and enduring contributions to the entertainment industry. Past luminaries who have received this distinguished award include Donna Langley, James Cameron, and Kathleen Kennedy, placing Blum in esteemed company.

Looking ahead, the 2026 Producers Guild Awards Event Chairs will be Mike Farah and Joe Farrell. This year’s awards production is managed by Anchor Street Collective, with Branden Chapman serving as executive producer and Carleen Cappelletti as co-executive producer, ensuring a seamless and celebrated event.
