Weinsteins start new DVD label

February 28, 2008 Now they are bent on leaving their imprint on the DVD business as well, with a premium label they hope will be put in the same category by movie buffs as the prestigious Criterion Collection or Warner Home Video's extravagant collector's editions of such marquee films as "Gone With the Wind," "The Wizard of Oz" and "Ben-Hur." The Miriam Collection, named after the brothers' mother, launched in late January with the release of one of the last great epics not previously available on DVD, Anthony Mann's "El Cid." The film comes to DVD on April 29 from Genius Products, the independent DVD distribution company majority owned by the Weinsteins.
