Report: Miramax Closes its Doors

Miramax, the Weinstein brothers-founded, Disney-owned movie studio, will close its Los Angeles and New York offices, according to a report at The Wrap. As a result of this closure, part of Bob Iger’s process of streamlining Disney, 80 people will lose their jobs, and six films, including “The Tempest” and “Last Night,” will sit and wait for distribution. The Weinsteins, who named the studio after their parents, have asked to buy back the name from Disney, but have received no response as of yet.
