The line was begun by MGM in March 2001 following its acquisition of Orion Pictures, which bought out Filmways, the owner of American International Pictures.  AIP had a library of B movies from the 1950s and 1960s that were science fiction, horror, and exploitation films.

All double feature titles released on the 20th Century Fox label were two-disc packages.  By 2011, no new titles were forthcoming; the previous catalog titles slowly went out of print and the "Midnite Movies" website was taken down.
