Miramax was originally founded by Bob and Harvey Weinstein and under their leadership, the company released/distributed several Academy Award-winning and nominated films such as Chicago, Shakespeare in Love, The English Patient, Pulp Fiction, Finding Neverland, and My Left Foot.
The company was bought by Disney in 1993, and the Weinstein’s left in 2005 and founded the Weinstein Company.
Bill Block took over Miramax just recently on April 26, with the hopes of making Miramax more proactive in produced film and television content.
Disney sold Miramax in 2010 to a group of investors for $660 million.
