'''Weintraub Entertainment Group''' was the independent production company of Jerry Weintraub, founded in 1986. The company was backed with a $461 million credit invested by [[Columbia Pictures]] and [[Cineplex Odeon Theaters|Cineplex Odeon]] among other firms. In 1987, WEG acquired the [[Thorn EMI Screen Entertainment]] library from [[Cannon Films]] due to the latter company's crippling debt. A lack of box-office hits caused WEG to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September 1990. Weintraub disbanded from the company shortly thereafter and made a deal with [[Warner Bros. Pictures]]. | '''Weintraub Entertainment Group''' was the independent production company of Jerry '''Weintraub''', founded in 1986.
