In February 2011, they entered a home video agreement with [[Lionsgate Home Entertainment]] and [[StudioCanal]] to distribute more than 550 titles from the Miramax film library on DVD, and later that month, they made a deal with [[Echo Bridge Acquisition Corp.|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 (now [[Paramount Global]]) 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. | ||
