*Following the Harvey Weinstein scandal, the company stopped releasing movies, and this logo has since been retired due to the company's bankruptcy and to distance the films from the scandal. Current prints have slowly begun plastering this logo over with the 2013 Lionsgate logo for films they currently distribute, though for the most part it's usually preceded by Lantern's logo. Some Lionsgate owned Weinstein Company films, such as ''The Young and the Prodigious T.S. Spivet'' and ''Trick or Treaters'', still have this logo intact. | * Following the Harvey Weinstein scandal, the company stopped releasing movies, and this logo has since been retired due to the company's bankruptcy and to distance the films from the scandal. | ||
