On September 25, 2008, TWC ended its three-year distribution pact with MGM three months before the December 31 end date. This happened in part because TWC had struck a television output deal with Showtime, though not through MGM's output deal with them. During the span of their pact, TWC paid for marketing and prints, while MGM received a distribution fee for booking theaters.

In 2009, TWC might have lost the rights to the movie Sin City 2. The first movie cost only 40 million dollars to make and brought in almost 159 million in box office alone. Weinstein Company lawyer Bert Fields quickly denied this report saying "TWC's rights to produce sequels to Sin City remain intact as they always have been. Any suggestion to the contrary is complete hogwash."

In June 2009, The Weinstein Company announced the hiring of a financial adviser to restructure the finances of the company. Since July, 2009, many layoffs occurred at TWC, and the release dates of some films were pushed back.
