Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, New Line Cinema and Dolby Cinema join forces to celebrate Halfway to Halloween this year with the premiere of Lee Cronin’s The Mummy in theaters.
The one-night premiere event for Cronin’s The Mummy takes place April 16 at 7pm, screening exclusively in Dolby Cinema across 183 AMC Theatres locations in 47 cities nationwide.
Tickets are now available for the opening night sneak peek screening.
The evening’s premiere screening of The Mummy is engineered to be experienced in Dolby’s full-precision audio and laser projection. This is the film the way it was made to be seen.
“I wanted to make a movie that gets under your skin in the most literal way possible,” Lee Cronin said in a statement. “There are images in this film that are going to make you look away and not be able to stop looking at the same time. Experiencing that in Dolby, surrounded by a crowd who has no idea what’s coming, on opening night, will be unforgettable.”
“Horror fans don’t wait for Halloween,” said Jason Blum, Founder and CEO of Blumhouse. “They live in it all year. This year we wanted to give them something they’ve never had from Halfway to Halloween: opening night! Lee Cronin made something genuinely disturbing and we want the people who love this genre to be the first ones inside the theater together.”
In its first two years, Blumhouse’s Halfway to Halloween brought horror fans back to the theater for beloved titles from the Blumhouse-Atomic Monster library. This year, the event marks a new chapter: a same-night, first-night premiere for one of the most anticipated horror films of 2026, screening simultaneously across the country in Dolby Cinema.
