History Creator / TheWeinsteinCompany

Much like Miramax, the company was [[NeverLiveItDown infamous]] for often [[ExecutiveMeddling taking creative control from directors]], delaying films, giving them the InvisibleAdvertising treatment, and releasing mostly flops (though their fortunes later improved with back-to-back Best Picture winners ''Film/TheKingsSpeech'' and ''Film/TheArtist''). Their films would find some success on home video, thanks to a much advertised exclusive rental agreement with Blockbuster Video in the mid-to-late 2000's, though the rental chain would fold a few years later. Their biggest success to date is Creator/QuentinTarantino's ''Film/DjangoUnchained'', released in 2012.

In October of 2017, a pair of exposés in ''The New Yorker'' and ''The New York Times'' exposed Harvey's extensive history of sexual misconduct, ranging from verbal harassment to violent rape to blackmail, which had gone on for his entire career. Though he'd been accused of aggressive behavior and even bullying in the past, these articles swiftly changed his public perception from harmless—if meddlesome and sleazy—executive, to a full fledged sexual predator, making his name shorthand for sexual predators in showbusiness. He was [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor immediately fired from the company]], permanently ending his career in film, and the resulting scandal kickstarted the [=#MeToo=] movement, which encouraged victims of harassment and assault to call for justice against their high-profile abusers, creating a domino effect of several other powerful men in Hollywood (such as Creator/BillCosby, Creator/KevinSpacey, Creator/BryanSinger, [[Creator/{{Def Jam Recordings}} Russell Simmons]], [[Creator/{{Paramount Global}} Leslie]][[Creator/{{CBS}} Moonves]], and Creator/JohnKricfalusi, just to name a few) having their careers similarly permanently soured. In March of 2020, Harvey was tried and convicted of his crimes and sent to Rikers Island to serve a 23-year sentence, later being transferred to Wende after testing positive for coronavirus so he could be put in isolation.

Following Harvey's fall from grace, TWC would declare bankruptcy after sales talks fell through with potential buyers. In 2018, the company declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy and was purchased by Lantern Capital and subsequently renamed Lantern Entertainment. A year later, Lantern folded their TWC assets into Creator/SpyglassMediaGroup (the revived Spyglass Entertainment), with Creator/WarnerBros acquiring a minority stake. Bob remains in comparatively better standing thus far and has moved on to create his own production company, Watch This Entertainment. Creator/{{Lionsgate}} is the current distributor of the Weinstein Company's library.
