Career
Blum found work as an executive for Bob and Harvey Weinstein at their production company Miramax, and later as an independent producer for Paramount Pictures. Prior to his tenure at Miramax, he was a producing director at the Malaparte theater company in New York.{{cite web|url=http://blumhouse.com/about.php |title=About Blumhouse Productions |publisher=Blumhouse.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130621041039/http://blumhouse.com/about.php |archive-date=June 21, 2013 }} He is a member of the board of trustees of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.{{cite web|title=Academy Museum Names New Board of Trustees {{!}} Hollywood Reporter|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/academy-museum-names-new-board-trustees-1064573|access-date=2020-08-31|website=Hollywood Reporter|date=December 5, 2017|archive-date=October 29, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201029024539/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/academy-museum-names-new-board-trustees-1064573|url-status=live}} He obtained financing for his first film as producer, Kicking and Screaming (1995), after asking family friend Steve Martin to read the script and write a letter endorsing it if he enjoyed it.{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1gl59q/i_am_jason_blum_producer_of_paranormal_activity/cala14m?context=3|title=I am Jason Blum, producer of Paranormal Activity, The Purge and Insidious: Chapter2|publisher=Reddit|date=June 18, 2013|access-date=June 19, 2013|archive-date=April 1, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150401044209/http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1gl59q/i_am_jason_blum_producer_of_paranormal_activity/cala14m?context=3|url-status=live}} After Martin obliged, Blum replaced the title page of the script with copies of Martin's letter before he sent the script to Hollywood executives.
In 2000, Blum founded Blumhouse Productions, which is known for producing micro-budget films that give directors full creative control. Bloomberg News praised him for making "blockbusters for pennies",{{Cite news|date=2014-04-25|title=Jason Blum, the Penny-Pinching Horror Movie Maestro|language=en|work=Bloomberg.com|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-04-24/jason-blum-the-penny-pinching-horror-movie-maestro|access-date=2021-02-11}} the first example of which came with the horror film Paranormal Activity (2007), which became one of the most profitable films of all time as it grossed nearly $200 million on a $15,000 budget.{{cite web|url=https://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=paranormalactivity.htm|publisher=Box Office Mojo|title=Paranormal Activity (2007)|access-date=April 17, 2020|archive-date=September 9, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190909081233/https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=paranormalactivity.htm|url-status=live}} In addition, Planet Money released a special podcast episode about the company's methods, referring to Blum as the "business genius behind Get Out".{{cite news|title=Episode 650: The Business Genius Behind Get Out|url=https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2017/03/29/521950337/episode-650-the-genius-behind-get-out|access-date=2021-02-11|newspaper=NPR.org|language=en}}
Blum also produced Insidious (2010), Sinister (2012), The Purge (2013) and Happy Death Day (2017), as well as their sequels.{{cite web|url=http://www.fangoria.com/new/qa-producer-jason-blum-talks-ouija-purge-3-curve-more/|title=Q&A: Producer Jason Blum talks "OUIJA", "PURGE 3", "CURVE" & More…|publisher=Fangoria|date=February 4, 2015|access-date=February 4, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150204174150/http://www.fangoria.com/new/qa-producer-jason-blum-talks-ouija-purge-3-curve-more/|archive-date=February 4, 2015|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}} In 2014, he served as executive producer for the television film The Normal Heart, which went on to win the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie.

In 2018, Blum said in an interview that the reason no woman had ever directed a Blumhouse horror film was that "there are not a lot of female directors [...] and even less who are inclined to do horror", but said that he hoped to one day achieve this goal.{{cite news |last1=Patches |first1=Matt |title=Blumhouse has never produced a theatrically released horror movie directed by a woman — but hopes to |url=https://www.polygon.com/2018/10/17/17984162/halloween-blumhouse-female-director |access-date=19 October 2018 |work=Polygon |date=18 October 2018 |archive-date=January 28, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210128192104/https://www.polygon.com/2018/10/17/17984162/halloween-blumhouse-female-director |url-status=live }} After much criticism on social media, in which lists of such directors were widely circulated,{{cite news |last1=Nyren |first1=Erin |title=Jason Blum Says He's Meeting With Women Directors After Claiming 'There Aren't a Lot' |url=https://variety.com/2018/film/news/jason-blum-women-directors-meet-there-arent-a-lot-1202984000/ |access-date=19 October 2018 |work=Variety |date=18 October 2018 |archive-date=October 20, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181020011719/https://variety.com/2018/film/news/jason-blum-women-directors-meet-there-arent-a-lot-1202984000/ |url-status=live }} he apologized for what he called his "dumb comments".{{cite news |last1=Lussier |first1=Germain |title=Halloween Producer Jason Blum Has Apologized for His Ridiculous Comments About Women Directors |url=https://io9.gizmodo.com/halloween-producer-jason-blum-has-apologized-for-his-ri-1829843394 |access-date=19 October 2018 |work=io9 |date=19 October 2018 |archive-date=October 20, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181020011803/https://io9.gizmodo.com/halloween-producer-jason-blum-has-apologized-for-his-ri-1829843394 |url-status=live }} Sophia Takal co-wrote and directed the Blumhouse horror remake Black Christmas (2019), the studio's first theatrically released film by a female director.{{cite web|url=https://www.indiewire.com/2018/12/blumhouse-woman-director-sophia-takal-hulu-into-the-dark-1202026332/|title=Blumhouse Hires Another Woman Director: Sophia Takal's All-Female Horror Movie|first1=Eric|last1=Kohn|date=December 7, 2018|access-date=October 29, 2019|archive-date=December 9, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181209123807/https://www.indiewire.com/2018/12/blumhouse-woman-director-sophia-takal-hulu-into-the-dark-1202026332/|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2019/12/14/friday-box-office-richard-jewell-clint-eastwood-black-christmas-adam-sandler-charlize-theron-margot-robbie-bombshell-uncut-gems/|title=Friday Box Office: 'Richard Jewell' And 'Black Christmas' Flop, 'Uncut Gems' And 'Bombshell' Break Out|first1=Scott|last1=Mendehlson|website=Forbes|date=December 14, 2019|access-date=January 17, 2022}}
Other ventures
=Politics=
In June 2018, Blum told Variety that his upcoming prequel The First Purge would deal with racial tensions in the U.S. and said that all of the films in The Purge franchise have a political slant, giving examples such as the first film primarily being a parable about gun control and the third film addressing class warfare.{{cite web | url=https://variety.com/2018/film/news/get-out-2-jason-blum-a-quiet-place-1202855309/ | title=Jason Blum on 'Get Out 2' and Why He Couldn't Have Made 'A Quiet Place' | date=June 22, 2018 }} He said, "[Horror] reaches an audience in which politics may not be front of mind and it makes politics front of mind. The Purge reaches an audience that isn't thinking of gun control every day and might start thinking of gun control. If every time there's a shooting in the United States, the government's answer is put more guns in people's hands, then what The Purge is showing doesn't seem all that crazy. Donald Trump keeps saying 'give teachers guns'. I could see him saying 'let people shoot whoever they want to for 12 hours a year'."
In November 2018, Blum (who is of Jewish heritage) attended the Israel Film Festival in Los Angeles to accept an award for Achievement in Film and Television. In his acceptance speech, he said, "A lot is on the line [in the midterms]. The last two years have been hard for all of us who cherish the freedom as citizens of this country. The great thing about this country is that you can like Trump, but I don't have to, and I can say what I feel about it{{emdash}}and I don't like it." He was heavily booed, to which he responded, "As you can see from this auditorium, it's the end of civil discourse. We have a president who calls the press the enemy of the people. Thanks to our president, antisemitism is on the rise." Yossi Dina tried unsuccessfully to pull Blum off the stage. Blum later tweeted the full speech, which said in part, "Nationalism is surging. Dog whistle politics are rampant and antisemitism is on the rise in ways my generation never thought imaginable." He received support from fellow Jews such as Judd Apatow and Jamie Lee Curtis, whilst festival director Meir Fenigstein stated that the audience "greatly lacked respect" and "turned an evening of celebration and recognition into something else" by booing him.

On August 14, 2020, Daily Front Row listed Blum as one of a group of high-profile investors who purchased failing fashion magazine W.{{Cite web |last=Spangler |first=Todd |date=2020-08-14 |title=Karlie Kloss Leads Buyout of W Magazine, With Jason Blum Among New Owners |url=https://variety.com/2020/digital/news/karlie-kloss-w-magazine-jason-blum-acquisition-1234735102/ |access-date=2022-09-20 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}
After appearing on an episode of Shark Tank, Blum made a deal with American Immersion Theater, the leading immersive theater company in the U.S.{{Cite web |last=Couch |first=Aaron |date=2024-09-19 |title=Blumhouse Inks Deal With 'Shark Tank' Contestant American Immersion Theater |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/blumhouse-inks-deal-with-shark-tank-contestant-1235855786/ |access-date=2024-07-24 |website=Hollywood Reporter |language=en-US}}
Blum sits on the boards of the Public Theater in New York, the Sundance Institute, Vassar College, and the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.

In 2022, Blum donated $10 million to Vassar College, which was noted as the largest gift ever given to the college from a male alumnus.{{cite news |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZIbwZzdtUs |title=Good News: Jason Blum Donated $10 Million to Vassar |date=17 June 2022}}
