According to Reuters, selling off the remainder of Miramax could bring in $700m (£438m) for the corporation. Possible buyers include Twilight's studio Summit Entertainment, private equity groups and at least one other independent studio.
Included in the sale would be the Miramax name and its 700-film library, which contains such titles as Clerks, Shakespeare in Love and Good Will Hunting.
Analysts estimate that the Miramax library brings in more than $300m (£188m) in DVD and television revenue annually, but Disney has never disclosed that figure.
