Unmentioned in the article are the losses incurred by the most recent Michael Moore film, which had to have ruined annual profitability for a small studio like Miramax.

Does this mean that we are finally rid of the ultra-Leftist Weinstein brothers?

And to think, Miramax thought Lord of The Rings was not going to be a success, and passed on trying to bring it to the screen.

First off, the latest Moore film wasn't produced by Miramax. It's from Overture Films, which is a division of Liberty Media, part of the John Malone empire.

Second, the film has made $13 million at the box office. I can't find the budget for this one, but his previous films have had budgets in the $6-$8 million range, so this one is probably in the black. And it's still ticking along, making about $750k last week.
