History

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.
