Miramax, LLC (also known as Miramax Films) is an American entertainment company known for producing and distributing films and television shows. It is headquartered in New York City, New York. Miramax was founded in 1979 by brothers Harvey and Bob Weinstein and was a leading independent film motion picture distribution and production company before it was acquired by The Walt Disney Company on June 30, 1993, which is the first acquisition done by the company. The Weinsteins operated Miramax with more creative and financial independence than any other division of Disney until September 30, 2005, when they left the company and founded a new studio, The Weinstein Company. Miramax was sold by Disney to Filmyard Holdings, a joint venture of Colony NorthStar, Tutor-Saliba Corporation, and Qatar Investment Authority, in 2010, ending Disney's 17-year ownership of the studio. In 2016, the company was sold to the beIN Media Group. In 2019, beIN agreed to sell a 49% stake in the company to ViacomCBS (via its Paramount Pictures unit); the sale was completed on April 3, 2020.[1]
However, The Brother Grimm were secretly and quietly transferred to Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures in 2015; prior to beIN Media Group's acquisition of Miramax in 2016, without any confirmation from Disney.
