5Spyglass had many deals with film studios, first they signed a distribution deal with Creator/{{Disney}} for a five-year agreement. However, the studio parted ways with Disney and tried signing a deal with Creator/{{DreamWorks|SKG}}. The deal fell through and later ended up signing a distribution agreement with Creator/SonyPictures.[[note]]Before that, their output was distributed by many other companies in the US and selected international territories such as [[Creator/{{Paramount}} Paramount Pictures]], [[Creator/TwentiethCenturyStudios Fox]], Creator/WarnerBros and Creator/{{Universal}}[[/note]] In 2010, Barber and Birnbaum became co-presidents of Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer, leading Spyglass's operations to be scaled back with its last film being released in 2012.

7On March 13, 2019, the newly formed Lantern Entertainment, theater chain Cineworld, Italian film unit Eagle Pictures, and returning founder Barber relaunched the company as Spyglass Media Group, which will host the former Creator/TheWeinsteinCompany library that Lantern had previously acquired in 2018 as well as the sequel rights to Creator/{{Miramax}}'s franchises. WB was brought in as a minority holder and was set to distribute titles from the new company. In 2021, Creator/{{Lionsgate}} acquired a twenty-percent equity stake in the company, gaining rights to much of the TWC library in the process.
