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.
