Hollywood Pictures was a film division of The Walt Disney Company that was established on February 1, 1989, initially to finance and distribute B-movies and smaller-budget films. After being dormant since 2001, the brand was re-activated in 2006 to produce genre films such as horror and African-American films (in the same vein as Sony Pictures Entertainment's Screen Gems Pictures) in place of Dimension Films after Bob and Harvey Weinstein left Disney to form The Weinstein Company. However, after only three films, the label was discontinued again a year later. Walt Disney Pictures continues to control the films produced by the studio (although Hollywood does retain the copyrights). | Hollywood Pictures was a film division of The Walt Disney Company that was established on February 1, 1989, initially to finance and distribute B-movies and smaller-budget films.
