4. Founding Miramax Films
In 1979, Harvey and Bob created Miramax Films Corporation – named after their parents, Miriam and Max. They intended on distributing small, art-house-type films. However, their company soon became a major player in the industry. Within a decade, they went from producing music-oriented concert films to producing critically acclaimed movies, such as My Left Foot and Sex, Lies, and Videotape. In 1993, Walt Disney acquired Miramax, but the Weinsteins stayed on board to oversee various film releases, including Pulp Fiction and Good Will Hunting. In 2005, they decided to part ways with Miramax to form their own production company.
