Focus Features and Blumhouse Atomic have officially scheduled the theatrical release of writer-director Nicolas Curcio’s feature debut, Play House, dating the micro-budget horror title for April 2, 2027. The project will open wide across domestic movie theaters, while Universal Pictures International manages the rollout across foreign territories.

The buzzy picture originally gained industry momentum after taking top honors at the Fantastic Pitches competition. It represents the latest strategic collaboration between Focus Features, Blumhouse Atomic, and production banner Divide/Conquer, extending a partnership that previously generated the record-breaking global box-office hit Obsession.

The joint venture is concurrently readying Christopher Barker’s anticipated follow-up Anything But Ghosts, slated for a theatrical bow on May 7, 2027, as well as Josh Giuliano’s upcoming genre title Occupant. Written by Curcio alongside Kirby Gladstein, the cast features Will Harrison (Daisy Jones & The Six), Jessica Sula (Split), Jordan Gonzalez (Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin), and veteran character actor James Urbaniak (Oppenheimer).

Curcio and Gladstein produce alongside Ben Gojer, Jack Forbes, and Derek Tramont. Executive producers on the film include Jason Blum for Blumhouse, Ahbra Perry, Daniel Levin, and Divide/Conquer principals Adam Hendricks and Greg Gilreath.
