Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed this on a conference call when questioned about a possibility of selling Miramax. | On March 29, 2005, the Weinstein brothers decided to leave both Disney and Miramax and took the Dimension label with them (a split which was consummated on September 30), and in October of that year, they founded another film company, [[The Weinstein Company]].
