Release history

Exploitation Cinema

With the release of the 2007 film Grindhouse THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY decided to go after all the DVD companies that are using the GRINDHOUSE phrase on their DVDs. To avoid a lawsuit the name of the collection was changed to Exploitation Cinema. The style of the box art and DVD layout stayed the same as the Welcome To The Grindhouse collection.
