In 2011, Echo Bridge Entertainment and Miramax have made a distribution deal in which Echo Bridge will release 251 movies from the Miramax catalog; the other 550 movies will go to Lionsgate and StudioCanal as Miramax has a similar distribution deal with them. On March 17, 2014, Echo Bridge lost the distribution rights to the Miramax titles, all of their previous releases were discontinued and any mention of Miramax and their titles were taken off the website.
