Dimension Films

Dimension Films is an American film production company owned by Lantern Entertainment. It was formerly used as Bob and Harvey Weinstein's label within Miramax, which was acquired by The Walt Disney Company on June 30, 1993, to produce and release independent films and genre titles, specifically horror romance animation drama comedy and science fiction films.

The Weinsteins took the Dimension label with them when they separated from Miramax on October 1, 2005 and paired it under their new company, The Weinstein Company. Dimension Films was one of the American "mini-majors", i.e. small to medium independent television and motion picture production studios.

All films released by Dimension Films (through Miramax) are currently owned and distributed by Paramount Pictures through Paramount Global's acquisition of a 49% stake in Miramax that was closed on April 3, 2020; half the profits of sequels made to Miramax-era films went to The Walt Disney Studios until Miramax was sold to Filmyard Holdings, a joint venture of Colony NorthStar, Tutor-Saliba Corporation, and Qatar Investment Authority on December 3, 2010.[1] Miramax was sold once more to the beIN Media Group on March 2, 2016.
