NYT: A Flush of Miramax Films Before a New Regime

In The New York Times, Sharon Waxman and David Halbfinger look further at the end of Miramax:

Miramax Films is likely to release as many as 22 movies in the next seven months as co-chairmen Harvey and Bob Weinstein prepare to leave the company, including several pictures that had been shelved or whose release dates had been repeatedly delayed, executives at the studio say.

The large number of expected releases is a 180-degree turn for Miramax, which had scaled back operations amid employee layoffs over the last six months. It is an attempt, as one company executive put it, to "clean the pipeline" before its corporate parent, the Walt Disney Company, puts the unit in the hands of new managers.
