History
Screen Rant was launched by Vic Holtreman in 2003,[4] and originally had its primary office in Ogden, Utah.[5][6] Screen Rant has expanded its coverage with red-carpet events in Los Angeles, New York film festivals and San Diego Comic-Con panels.[7][8] The associated YouTube channel was created on August 19, 2008, and has 8.62M subscribers and 5.4K videos as of June 21, 2023.[2]
In February 2015, Screen Rant was acquired by Valnet Inc., an online media company based in Montreal, Quebec.[9][10] It was reunited with its sister site, Game Rant, in 2019, when Valnet acquired the other publication.[11]
The channel previously hosted a video series called Pitch Meetings by YouTube comedian Ryan George, who produced over 200 videos by September 2020, which had garnered 250 million views. In the series, George plays both a screenwriter and a film producer doing a pitch on a movie or series through a detailed plot summary, that highlights plot holes, loose ends and questionable character decisions.[12]
