In 2010, Disney sold it to Filmyard Holdings, a joint venture of Colony NorthStar, Tutor-Saliba Corporation and Qatar Investment Authority.

The resulting film, the American version of The Secret Policeman's Other Ball, was a successful release for Miramax in the summer of 1982.

This release presaged a modus operandi that the company would undertake later in the 1980s of acquiring films from international filmmakers and reworking them to suit American sensibilities and audiences.

[4] Among the company's other breakthrough films as distributors in the late 1980s and early 1990s were Pulp Fiction, Scandal, Sex, Lies, and Videotape, Tie Me Up!

[6] Harvey and Bob Weinstein continued to operate Miramax Films until they left the company on September 30, 2005.

During their tenure, the Weinstein brothers ran Miramax Films independently of other Disney subsidiaries and, as a result, had more autonomy than the other Disney-owned companies.

Harvey funded larger projects from up-and-coming directors, including Robert Rodriguez, Gus Van Sant, and Quentin Tarantino.

"[8] After extensive negotiations and much media and industry speculation, on March 30, 2005, Disney and the Weinsteins announced that they would not renew their contractual relationship when their existing agreements expired at the end of September 2005.

[12] At the time, the company was criticized for delaying or withholding release of Asian films to which it acquired the U.S. distribution rights.

The label's marketing, distribution, and administrative functions, which had operated independently, would be folded into the parent studio in Burbank.

[15] On October 30, 2009, Disney announced the resignation of Daniel Battsek as President of Miramax Films, effective when the transition from the studio in New York to Burbank was completed.

[16] The company merged its operations with The Walt Disney Studios on January 28, 2010, shutting down Miramax Films' separate New York and Los Angeles offices.

[18] As a result, Miramax Films was relegated to the status of distribution label within the Walt Disney Company.

Mike Lang, the former News Corporation business development executive who was selected as the CEO of Miramax,[21] indicated that the company would focus on their existing library, though they would continue making original content.

[22][23] After the sale was closed, some films already developed at Miramax, including The Tempest and Gnomeo & Juliet, were eventually released by Disney under its Touchstone Pictures banner, and theatrical distribution of Don't Be Afraid of the Dark[24] and The Debt[25] were shifted to FilmDistrict and Focus Features respectively.

Sequels, television series, or stage productions of titles such as Rounders and Shakespeare in Love were among the projects said to be part of this agreement.

[38][39][40] On a July 21, 2016, interview, Harvey Weinstein stated that he was still interested in combining TWC's film library with Miramax's, after the acquisition of the latter by beIN.

[51] On June 24, 2020, Miramax and ViacomCBS announced their first co-production, The Turkish Detective, a television series based on the Cetin Ikmen novels by Barbara Nadel.

As part of the deal, Miramax also acquired certain film and TV projects from Glickman's company Panoramic Media.
