According to the L.A. Times, Disney has held back the release for two of its Miramax films, "The Debt" and "Don't Be Afraid fo the Dark". The company is currently in the middle of selling the films Filmyard Holdings as part of the acquisition of Miramax films.

Guillermo del Toro, director of "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark", was said to be devastated by the news, saying "It's been 13 years trying to make this movie, and we finally make it. It's quite shocking. I am trying to see the silver lining in this."

No word on when the films will be released other than that it will be sometime later next year.
