 Bob and Harvey Weinstein continued to operate Miramax until they left the company on September 30, 2005.During their tenure, the Weinstein brothers ran Miramax independently of other Disney subsidiaries, and as a result had more autonomy than the other Disney-owned companies (for example, Miramax International, the international distribution arm of Miramax, distributed films both to cinemas and video through local independent affiliates and not also contracted with Disney or contracted with, but separately).Disney, however, had the final say on what Miramax could release (see "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "Dogma", for examples).
