[edit] Purchase by Disney

This page says that Disney purchased Miramax for $80 million, while the Miramax page says it was $70 miilion. Which was it? Nightscream 8.30.05. 8:19am EST

The exact terms of the deal were probably never released to the public so there's a lot of numbers out there, and it probably depends on what you decide to include or not:

• New York Daily News, March 28, 2005, CLOSING BOOK ON MIRAMAX
  • "Disney bought Miramax for $70 million"
• The Guardian, (London), October 1, 2004, "When Disney bought Miramax in 1994..." by Peter Biskind
  • "The deal was signed in the conference room of the Team Disney building. All told, it was worth something over $ 100m to Miramax."
• The Daily Telegraph Mirror, July 8, 1995, "Masters of the Art House"
  • "They bought Miramax for a rumoured $85 million in cash"
• Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, May 21, 1993, MICKEY AND GOOFY MEET THE CRYING GAME
  • "Disney is said to have paid close to the asking price ($ 80 million) for Miramax"
