Screen Rant was launched by Vic Holtreman in 2003,[2] and originally had its primary office in Ogden, Utah.[3] [4] Screen Rant has expanded its coverage with red-carpet events in Los Angeles, New York film festivals and San Diego Comic-Con panels.[5] [6] The associated YouTube channel was created on August 19, 2008, and has 8.62M subscribers and 5.4K videos as of June 21, 2023.[7]

In February 2015, Screen Rant was acquired by Valnet Inc., an online media company based in Montreal, Quebec.[8] [9] It was reunited with its sister site, Game Rant, in 2019, when Valnet acquired the other publication.[10]
