If you like this company, let us know!
Dimension Films is a major American film production and distribution studio formerly owned by The Walt Disney Studios and now owned by The Weinstein Company. It was formerly used as Bob Weinstein's label within Miramax Films, to produce and release genre films. The Weinstein Brothers took this label with them when they departed the Disney-owned Miramax in October 2005 and paired it under their company, The Weinstein Company.
All films released by Dimension Films prior to October 1, 2005, remain the property of Miramax Films; half the profits of sequels made to Miramax-era films went to Disney until Miramax was sold to Filmyard Holdings, a joint venture of Colony Capital, Tutor-Saliba Corporation, and Qatar Investment Authority in 2010.
The studio's movie franchises include the later Halloween films, later Hellraiser films, Children of the Corn, Scream, Spy Kids and Scary Movie. Its films are currently released on DVD and Blu-ray by Beverly Hills–based Anchor Bay Entertainment under The Weinstein Company, due to the Weinsteins' 25% purchase of Starz Media, which is Anchor Bay's parent. Before the purchase, they were distributed by Genius Products and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The pre-2005 Dimension films were originally released to home video through Buena Vista Home Entertainment while Miramax was owned by Disney. They are currently distributed on home video through Lionsgate, with Echo Bridge Home Entertainment briefly handling some as well.
As well as movies, the company also produces the Scream TV series for MTV.
Dimension Films has also have involvement with One Ball Pictures who owns "Funny Or Die" online series, they released their first episode “A Lesson with John McEnroe” with Dimension Films.
