About Bob Weinstein
Robert Weinstein is an American film producer. He was the founder and head of Dimension Films and former co-chairman of Miramax Films and The Weinstein Company (TWC), all of which he co-founded with his older brother, Harvey. Bob Weinstein is also the founder of Watch This Entertainment. He had focused on making action and horror films, as well as on "family films, comedies and upscale adult thrillers". In the late 1970s, using profits from their concert promotion business, the brothers created a small independent film distribution company called Miramax Films, named after their parents Miriam and Max. The resulting film, released as The Secret Policeman's Other Ball in May 1982, became Miramax's first hit.
