The brothers who founded and run Disney Corp.'s Miramax Films unit are sticking together, The New York Post is reporting.

Harvey and Bob Weinstein now hope to work things with out with Disney, and stay within the Disney fold, the report stated.

The Weinsteins' contract with Disney's Miramax expires in 2005. In the past few months, Disney and the Weinsteins and have been negotiating to renew the contract.

The change follows Disney CEO Michael Eisner's announcement he will leave the company next year when his contract expires. Eisner has butted heads with the Weinsteins on many issues in the past.

Harvey Weinstein does not want to leave the studio he founded and named for his parents, the report stated.

In June, the Weinsteins and Disney clashed over Michael Moore's controversial documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Just days after selling the movie to Miramax for $6 million, Disney said it might be willing to sell the Miramax film unit back to its founders, Harvey and Bob Weinstein.
