Dimension Films is a motion picture unit currently a part of The Weinstein Company . It was formerly used as Bob Weinstein 's label within Miramax Films , to produce and release genre films. The Weinstein Brothers took this label with them when they departed the Disney-owned Miramax in October 2005. All films released by Dimension Films prior to October 1, 2005, remain the property of The Walt Disney Company . Disney also retains a license to use the Dimension label for distribution of the film library it controls. According to the Associated Press , "Disney continues to share half the proceeds from the 'Scary Movie' flicks and any other future installments in pre-existing Dimension franchises, such as the 'Scream' or 'Spy Kids' series" {Link without Title} . Some of its most notable well-known movie franchises include '' Scream '' (1996-2000), '' Spy Kids '' (2001-2003) and '' Scary Movie '' (2000-present). Some of Dimension's early releases were distributed on video by Paramount Pictures , eventually transferring its output to Buena Vista when Miramax was bought by Disney in 1993, before the Weinsteins split from Disney in 2005. In March 2006, Dimension Films announced a distribution pact with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer . MGM will distribute the product domestically in theaters, while The Weinstein Company and Dimension Films will retain long-term ownership of their product (and eventually, full ownership via Genius Products once this material enters home video release).
