Focus Features and Blumhouse-Atomic Monster have announced that Anything But Ghosts, the highly anticipated next feature from filmmaker Curry Barker, will be released nationwide on May 7, 2027. Focus has worldwide rights on the film and Universal Pictures International will handle international distribution for the studio.

Anything But Ghosts is written and directed by Barker and co-written by longtime creative collaborator Cooper Tomlinson. Anything But Ghosts stars Tomlinson and Barker as wannabe “ghosthunters” who find themselves in over their heads as things spiral wildly and terrifyingly out of control. Violet McGraw and Chris Reinacher also star with Bryce Dallas Howard and Aaron Paul.

Following the worldwide, record-breaking success of Obsession, Anything But Ghosts marks Barker’s return to the big screen with another bold, original theatrical event from one of filmmaking’s most exciting new voices. The film reunites Focus Features and Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, following their collaboration on Obsession, alongside producers Jason Blum (Blumhouse), Roy Lee and Steven Schneider (Spooky Pictures), Adam Hendricks and Greg Gilreath (Divide/Conquer), in association with Image Nation and That’s a Bad Idea. Executive producers are Daniel Bekerman, Curry Barker, Cooper Tomlinson and Image Nation’s Ben Ross.
