MIPCOM Spotlight: Miramax

CANNES: Miramax is exhibiting at MIPCOM this week, offering up its deep library of Hollywood favorites and cult classics, including Pulp Fiction, Good Will Hunting, Chicago, Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2, Cold Mountain and Doubt.

“While the quality of the Miramax film legacy resonates around the world, until recently many of our titles weren’t as accessible as they are now,” says Joe Patrick, the head of worldwide television sales. “Our goal now is to bring these titles to a broad range of territories where viewing platforms are established or emerging—and quality content will be an important catalyst for additional growth.”

Alongside its own library, the studio is presenting the libraries of Revolution Studios and Samuel Goldwyn. From the Revolution Studios library comes Black Hawk Down, Maid in Manhattan, Daddy Day Care, America’s Sweethearts and others. Top titles from the acclaimed Samuel Goldwyn catalogue include Guys and Dolls, The Westerner, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and The Best Years of Our Lives. Patrick says that the company is going to be paying considerable attention to the new opportunities opening up in the SVOD space.
