The Weinstein Company

The Weinstein Company was a film production and distribution company co-founded by Harvey and Bob Weinstein in 2005, after they left Miramax, which they previously established. Renowned for producing and distributing award-winning films, including "The King's Speech" and "The Artist," the company gained significant acclaim in Hollywood. However, it became embroiled in controversy after Harvey Weinstein faced numerous allegations of sexual misconduct, leading to his arrest in 2018. The scandal prompted broader discussions about abuse in the entertainment industry and ultimately led to the company's bankruptcy in 2018.
