Miramax Home Entertainment is the home video and DVD division of Miramax Films founded in 1994. Prior to the 1993 buyout of The Walt Disney Company, Miramax did not have a video arm of its own. Most of their films were released by several home video distributors, but in 1992, Miramax struck a deal with Paramount Home Entertainment (owned by Viacom) to have them release their films on VHS (Paramount still owns the video rights to some of these films). After Disney bought out the company in 1993, Miramax's video releases were distributed briefly by Touchstone Home Entertainment through Buena Vista Home Entertainment. Miramax ended up releasing videos under its own label in the mid-1990s, with Buena Vista distributing. Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment distributed Miramax product from 2007-2010 (after the Weinstein Bros. left two years earlier to form the movie company The Weinstein Company taking the Dimension Films label with them). In February 2011, after Miramax was sold by Disney to Filmyard Holdings, LLC, a division of Colony Capital in December 2010, they entered a home video agreement with Lionsgate Home Entertainment and StudioCanal to distribute more than 550 titles from the renowned Miramax film library on DVD, and later on, they made a deal with Echo Bridge Home Entertainment for domestic DVD distribution of the studio's additional 251 titles.
