- <p> After Miramax Film Corp.'s The Crying Game earned $60
- million and the Best Original Screenplay Oscar, the hot studio
- was courted by the likes of Columbia and Paramount. But Walt
- Disney Co. won out, announcing that it will buy Miramax for an
- estimated $80 million. Disney, which prevailed in part because
- it let Miramax retain complete freedom over its projects, gets
- Miramax's library of more than 200 films, including smash hits
- such as sex, lies, and videotape. Miramax, with Disney backing,
- can now make bigger-budget films and perhaps secure more
- lucrative deals for cable and home-video markets.
