Hollywood Pictures was a film division of [[Walt Disney Pictures|The Walt Disney Company]] that was established on February 1, 1989, initially to finance and distribute B-movies and smaller-budget films, and to create internal competition with the company's other adult-orientated label, [[Touchstone Pictures]]. 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. Today, Disney continues to control the films produced by the studio, with Hollywood existing in-name-only to hold their copyrights. | '''Hollywood Pictures''' was a film division of [[Walt Disney Pictures|The Walt Disney Company]] that was established on February 1, 1989, initially to finance and distribute B-movies and smaller-budget films, and to create internal competition with the company's other adult-orientated label, [[Touchstone Pictures]].
