Was looking at box office mojo and it instantly became clear to me why James Wan was picked for producer. Most of the movies he has directed have all had extremely low budgets, typically between 1 to 5 million. With the exception of the already established franchise of Fast and Furious, the highest budgets he has had were $20 million and $40 million (Conjuring 1 and 2). I'm all but certain Constantin Film is probably hoping that Wan will be able to duplicate his micro budget successes with an already proven franchise that is nearly guaranteed to make huge bank internationally. Don't be surprised if the movies that end up being made are extremely light on the zombies and monsters or even found footage style films to accommodate a smaller budget/higher return situation for the studio.
