Lantern Entertainment is an American independent film studio and the successor to The Weinstein Company. It is a separate company and purchased the entire assets in a bankruptcy auction.[3]
History[edit]
On July 16, 2018, the Dallas-based equity firm Lantern Capital Partners bought the assets of The Weinstein Company for $289 million. Lantern Entertainment was formed and assumed the rights to TWC's 277-film library.[4][3][5] In November 2018, Lantern acquired full control of three Quentin Tarantino films, originally released by The Weinstein Company, for $6.1 million.[6]
On March 13, 2019, Lantern and Gary Barber launched Spyglass Media Group, which will host the former TWC library. Italian film distributor Eagle Pictures and cinema chain Cineworld were brought in as minority holders.[7]
