The Qatari-based BeIn Media Group (BMG) has acquired US studio Miramax. The previous shareholder of Miramax was the holding company Filmyard Holdings, a joint venture controlled by the US investment fund Colony Capital and the Qatar Investment Authority, one of the Gulf Emirate’s sovereign funds. Filmyard Holdings acquired Miramax in December 2010 for $663 million from Walt Disney.
