History

Dimension Films was created by Bob Weinstein in 1992 as a genre film label within Miramax Films, which was co-founded by Bob and his brother Harvey Weinstein. The label quickly became known for producing and distributing successful horror and science fiction films. In 2005, when the Weinstein brothers left Miramax to form The Weinstein Company, they took Dimension Films with them.

Dimension Films has been responsible for a number of successful and influential films, particularly in the horror genre. Some of the most notable films include:

• Scary Movie series

Acquisition by Disney

In 2019, The Walt Disney Company acquired the majority of 21st Century Fox's assets, which included the rights to Dimension Films' library. This acquisition has led to speculation about the future of the Dimension Films label and its potential integration into Disney's broader film production and distribution strategy.
