| | Posted: | | | | There are several titles from either Dimension or The Weinstein Company on DVD and BD and I'm confused as to who exactly the media publisher. Both are (TWC, Dimension) distributed by Genius Products per the statement on the back covers: "Manufactured and distributed by Genius Products".
So, which is it? Both TWC and Dimension use Genius to "Manufacture and distribute" their titles. |

| | Posted: | | | | Alright (to show inconsistency). Note: All these have the "Manufactured and distributed by Genius Products" statement on the back (and vice versa, meaning for those with Genius Products in the MP, DHE or TWCHE are also on the back)... MP's listed are what's in the system now.
Paranthese next to certain titles just to show what company produced the movie.
Halloween [BD], The Killing Gene (Dimension)
MP: Dimension Home Entertainment
Pulse 2, Mother of Tears, Buried Alive (Dimension)
MP: Genius Products
DOA: Dead or Alive (Dimension)
MP: The Weinstein Company -- Figure that one out...
Lucky Number Slevin (currently being voted on) (TWC)
MP: The Weinstein Company Home Entertainment
A Threevening with Kevin Smith, The Flock, Awake, Clerks 2 [BD] (TWC)
MP: Genius Products
And there are several others that haven't even been entered yet (looking through my collection):
- Arthur and the Invisibles
- Factory Girl
- The Hunting Party
- The Mist
- Steel Trap
- Superhero Movie
- Wolf Creek
Basically, just about any TWC releases and certain current Dimension titles as well. | | | | Last edited: by The Movieman |

| | Posted: | | | | Ok, so I went through my collection and gathered several examples, each inconsistent. I'm hoping we can get a concensus before any more are submitted...
So is it:
The Weinstein Company Home Entertainment or Genius Products?
Dimension Home Entertainment or Genius Products? | | | | Last edited: by The Movieman |

| | Posted: | | | | From all the posts I have read, I got the impression that people wanted the company that created the content, not the company that did the physical manufacturing. Since the credit for Genius Products is 'Manufactured and distributed by ...', I am inclined to leave them off in favor of DMHE and TWCHE. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | OK, I just wanted to be sure. There are more profiles that need to be updated and don't want to do them and find out I was wrong... (not going to do them right now, will wait to see what others say... maybe even Ken?) |

| | Posted: | | | | Ok, so this is still popping up with Genius Products as the, now, Media Company. I'm still confused by all this... |

Good news, however, the new version of Profiler has 3 fields for MC. That means you can enter DHE/TWCHE and Genius Products. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
