Dimension Films: Difference between revisions

Bob Weinstein founded '''Dimension Films''' in 1991 as a genre film division of [[Miramax Films]]; it became part of [[Walt Disney Pictures|The Walt Disney Company]] when Miramax was purchased by Disney in 1993 and later became a part of [[The Weinstein Company]] after the Weinstein brothers left Miramax in 2005. In 2018, the company alongside TWC was purchased in a bankruptcy auction by [[Lantern Entertainment]]; the company went dormant within the following year. Today, Dimension operates as an in-name-only unit to hold the copyright on its library, and its pre-October 2005 films (except ''Mr. 3000'', which is still owned by Disney due to it also being co-produced and distributed by [[Touchstone Pictures]], and the UK rights to ''The Brothers Grimm'' from Miramax as of 2015 time) are partially owned by [[Paramount Pictures]] through [[Paramount Global]]'s 49% stake in Miramax.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a set of {{color|blue|bluish}} lines zoom out in the left side of the screen. As it zooms out, it gradually lights up to reveal that it is the word "{{color|blue|'''DIMENSION'''}}" in a bold, italic Eurostile font (more specifically, Eurostile Becker Black). When the logo reaches a comfortable distance, it lights up completely as "FILMS" wipes underneath it, in spaced-out letters.

'''Availability:''' Due to Weinstein's controversies, this logo is no longer used as of 2019. It is usually retained on current prints of their pre-October 2005 catalog, but some newer prints of October 2005-2019 films are either plastered by the [[Lantern Entertainment]] logo or the 2013 [[Lionsgate Films]] logo for the same reasons above.
