It was founded in 2004 as a division of GameStop.[1] GameStop spun off MovieStop to private owners in 2012.[2] In November 2014, Draw Another Circle LLC, a company controlled by merchandising executive Joel Weinshanker, purchased MovieStop.[3] Weinshanker had purchased media retailer Hastings Entertainment earlier in the year. The company website was folded into GoHastings.com the next year.
