Screen Rant is an entertainment website that offers news in the fields of television, films, video games, and comic books. It is owned by Valnet, parent of publications including Comic Book Resources, Collider, MovieWeb and XDA Developers.

01History

Screen Rant was launched by Vic Holtreman in 2003. In February 2015, Screen Rant was acquired by Valnet, an online media company based in Montreal, Quebec. It was combined with its sister site, Game Rant, in 2019, when Valnet acquired the other publication. Screen Rant founder, Vic Holtreman, who had served as the company's CEO, sold the website to Valnet.
