[edit] Movie List

Instead of two lists, I think there should be one list, with only films that have been released currently. Thus, I am removing all movies not released or movies that have an official release date (such as Doogal, etc.), and putting the films into one centralized list.

[edit] Non Weinstein Films

The Brother's Grimm and Proof are both not Weintein Films. Proof can be found on the Miramax website and The Brother's Grimm, like The Great Raid, was one of the last of Disney's Dimension projects. You can see since all three films did poorly in the box office and got barely any marketing support. Casey14 00:37, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Location

Where is the headquarter? And do they have their own studios? --Stilfehler 17:57, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Weinsteins and foreign films

What happened to the paragraph about this subject? Was it not NPOV? Why deleting it? —Gh87 21:47, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Genius Products

I believe that something should be mentioned within this entry regarding the fact that The Weinstein Company now owns Genius Products.

It's more of a joint venture. Read more about it here. --(trogga) 01:59, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blockbuster Agreement

Something should be added about this ridiculous new agreement they have made with Blockbuster. Rotinhellorg

[edit] independence

has anyone checked the factual backings of The Weinstein Company's claim to independence? as it's currently set are they pretty much owned by Dimension/MGM"sony" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Markthemac (talk • contribs) 07:26, 29 March 2007 (UTC).

First of all, MGM does not own TWC; it just distributes some of their films. Secondly, Dimension is actually a subsidiary/sublabel of TWC. --(trogga) 07:26, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

That is all that needed to be said. Weinstein is independent, and it owns Dimension. MGM just distributes its films. Casey14 15:36, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Weinstein company logo.png

Image:Weinstein company logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
