History
Screen Rant was launched by Vic Holtreman in 2003,[2][3] and had its office in Saint-Laurent, Quebec, Canada. Screen Rant has expanded its coverage with red-carpet events in Los Angeles, New York film festivals and San Diego Comic-Con panels.[4][5]
In February 2015, Screen Rant was acquired by Valnet, an online media company based in Montreal, Quebec.[6][7][8] It was reunited with its sister site, Game Rant, in 2019, when Valnet acquired the other publication.[9] After agreeing to sell Screen Rant to Valnet, founder Vic Holtreman, who had served as the company's CEO,[10] retired to a quiet life.[11][unreliable source?]
Screen Rant features a video series called Pitch Meeting by YouTube comedian Ryan George. By September 2020, the series included over 200 videos, garnering a combined 250 million views. In the series, George plays both a screenwriter and a film producer in a pitch for a film or television series, describing its plot in a way that highlights various inconsistencies.[12] In 2024, Ben Kendrick, former publisher of Screen Rant, was hired to run ComicBook.com.[13]
