History

Echo Bridge Home Entertainment, a division of Echo Bridge Entertainment, was founded in 1995 as Platinum Disc Corporation. In 2002, Platinum acquired PM Entertainment from The Harvey Entertainment Group. In 2005, Platinum Disc Corporation and Echo Bridge Entertainment merged to form Echo Bridge Home Entertainment.[2] In 2008, Echo Bridge acquired Alliance Atlantis International Distribution.[3] 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.

Lionsgate currently expanded their deal with Miramax to include the 251 movies previously released by Echo Bridge.

In January 2017, Producer Steven Paul purchased Echo Bridge.[4]
