The Weinstein Company

The Weinstein Co. is an American motion picture production and distribution company founded on October 5, 2005, by brothers Weinstein, Harvey and Bob, after they left the Disney-owned Miramax Films, which they had co-founded in 1979. The Dimension Films label of Miramax followed the brothers to their new company. Robert Redford and Paul Newman was the advisors of new studio.

The Weinstein Company's first releases in 2005 included the dramatic thriller “Derailed,” starring Jennifer Aniston and Clive Owen, the offbeat comedy-drama “Transamerica” (starring Felicity Huffman, the computer-animated family film “Hoodwinked,” the World War II-era dramedy “Mrs. Henderson Presents,” starring Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins, and the comedy “The Matador,” starring Pierce Brosnan and Greg Kinnear.

In March 2006, The Weinstein Co. announced a distribution pact with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which will distribute films domestically in theaters, while The Weinstein Co. will retain long-term ownership of their product.

The Weinstein Co. holds 70% stake of Genius Products, which releases all of The Weinstein Company's movies on DVD.

In July 2006, the Weinsteins and Robert L. Johnson announced creation of a joint venture studio titled 'Our Stories Films,' which will distribute African-American-oriented films.

In late August 2006, it was announced that The Weinstein Co. and Hubbard Media Group have purchased Ovation TV, an arts-focused cable channel.

In November 2006, The Weinstein Co. announced a three-year deal with Blockbuster Video to give the video renting company exclusive rights for rentals starting on January 1, 2007. However, under the First Sale Doctrine, other rental companies are able to rent the company's movies.

Along Miramax, The Weinstein Co. is the co-producer of the Bravo reality series “Project Runway.”

As of the late 2007, rights to films originally produced by Miramax, under the leadership of the Weinsteins, as well as some films either distributed by or had rights reverted to Miramax – such as the Beatles film “A Hard Day's Night" – now lie with The Weinstein Co.

Genius Products/Weinstein Company Home Entertainment has reissued both released versions of “Cinema Paradiso,” originally distributed theatrically and on home video by Miramax.

The Weinstein Co. has altered it's logo to simply have the spotlights and then a shortened 'TWC' in place of 'The Weinstein Company' title.

On May 24, 2007, The Weinstein Co. announced launch of three new direct-to-video labels: 'The Miriam Collection,' 'Kaleidoscope TWC,' and 'Dimension Extreme.'

Weinstein Books

Upon leaving Disney, the brothers Weinstein reached an agreement to bring over Rob Weisbach, the CEO of their publishing imprint, Miramax Books, to The Weinstein Company. Weisbach would continue to manage all of Miramax Books' existing titles until they were published but would acquire all new titles for Weinstein, while Disney would acquire new titles under their Hyperion imprint.

“Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures” is the first book of Weinstein Books.
