<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.
