Miramax Home Entertainment was the home entertainment division of [[Miramax Films]], formed in early 1992 as Miramax Home Video after years of having their films released by several home video distributors including [[HBO Video]], [[Media Home Entertainment]] (through [[Fox Video]]) and [[Artisan Entertainment|LIVE Home Video]]. The same year, Miramax struck a deal with [[Paramount Home Entertainment]] to have them release their films on VHS (Paramount still owns the video rights to some of these films). After Disney bought out the company in 1993, Miramax's video releases were distributed briefly by [[Touchstone Home Entertainment|Touchstone Home Video]] through [[Buena Vista Home Entertainment|Buena Vista Home Video]]. Miramax ended up releasing videos under its own label in the mid-1990s, with Buena Vista distributing. [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment]] distributed Miramax products from 2007-2011 (after the company's founders and CEOs, the Weinstein brothers, left two years earlier). In December 2010, Miramax was sold by Disney to Filmyard Holdings, LLC, a division of Colony Capital. In February 2011, they entered a home video agreement with [[Lionsgate Home Entertainment]] and [[StudioCanal]] to distribute more than 550 titles from the renowned Miramax film library on DVD, and later that month, they made a deal with [[Echo Bridge Home Entertainment]] for domestic DVD distribution of the studio's additional 251 titles. In March 2014 though, Echo Bridge lost the distribution rights to those titles, allowing Lionsgate to obtain complete access to the Miramax catalog. Later in December 2019, [[ViacomCBS]] bought a 49% stake in Miramax and took over the home media distribution rights the next year from Lionsgate, with Paramount Home Entertainment returning to release all of Miramax's titles on home video since September 22, 2020, Paramount now handles the home video rights to the company's library worldwide. | Miramax Home Entertainment was the home entertainment division of [[Miramax Films]], formed in early 1992 as Miramax Home Video after years of having their films released by several home video distributors including [[HBO Video]], [[Media Home Entertainment]] (through [[Fox Video]]) and [[Artisan Entertainment|LIVE Home Video]].
