Distributor
Dimension Films
Dimension Films was an American independent film and television production and distribution label founded in 1992, and currently owned by independent studio Lantern Entertainment. Formally one of the American “mini-majors” (i.e., small to medium independent television and motion picture production studios), Dimension Films produced and released independent films and genre titles; specifically horror and science fiction films.
Dimension Films was used as Harvey and Bob Weinstein’s label within the brothers’ own Miramax Films studio, which was acquired by The Walt Disney Company on June 30, 1993. The Weinsteins took the Dimension Films label with them when they separated from Miramax Films on October 1, 2005, and paired it under their new company, The Weinstein Company (TWC). However, the firing of Harvey Weinstein following allegations of sexual harassment and rape against him, as well as financial troubles that followed, led to the company’s decline. The studio eventually declared bankruptcy in February 2018, with Lantern acquiring a majority of its film library and assets, and was shut down on July 16, 2018.
All films released by Dimension Films before 2005 (as part of 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.
