Bloomberg: The investors behind Miramax, the studio that owns Oscar winners “Shakespeare in Love” and “Pulp Fiction,” are said to be exploring a sale, as demand for content has grown with the rise of online viewing. Miramax, which owns more than 700 films, could fetch as much as $1 billion. The company, controlled by billionaire Thomas Barrack Jr.’s Colony Capital and Qatar Holding, is said to be interviewing banks. The film industry is experiencing a resurgence, with 2015 expected to be a record year at the U.S. box office.
