- BiographyMiramax Films Corporation was formed in 1979 by Harvey and Bob Weinstein and named after their parents, Miriam and Max. The Company was known for releasing independent films domestically and abroad on serious, adult subject matter. In May of 1993, The Walt Disney Company purchased the independent distributor, which would continue to operate as a separate company and expand into production. In 2005, the Weinstein brothers left Miramax after their contract expired in September of that year. Currently the company operates under the Disney division, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Group.
