Miramax was shut down by Disney on January 28, 2010. They subsequently sold the unit on July 29, 2010, although Disney agreed to continue to distribute Miramax's films (both old and new) for the new owners—{{wp|Filmyard Holdings}}, a coalition of business magnate {{wp|Tutor Perini|Ronald Tutor}} and investment firm {{wp|Colony Capital}}—for up to one year. The home video rights to most of Miramax's films were later sold to Lionsgate in early 2011. The home video rights to Miramax's remaining films (including the four Pokémon movies), were sold to [[Echo Bridge Home Entertainment]], who re-released all four Pokémon films individually, in several "double-feature" releases (with different combinations), and all four together in a Pokémon movie set.
