'''Fox Searchlight Pictures''' was formed in 1994 under News Corporation (now owned by [[Walt Disney Pictures|The Walt Disney Company]]) as a division of 20th Century Fox (now [[20th Century Studios]]) for independent, arthouse, foreign, horror, and African-American film releases, along with some comedy, action, romance, and family-friendly films. On January 17, 2020, parent company Disney announced that it would remove "Fox" from the company's name, presumably to avoid confusion with Fox Corporation, renaming it to '''Searchlight Pictures''', along with its division becoming 20th Century Studios. | '''Fox Searchlight Pictures''' was formed in 1994 under News Corporation (who has been now owned by [[Walt Disney Pictures|The Walt Disney Company]]) as a division of 20th Century Fox (now [[20th Century Studios]]) for independent, arthouse, foreign, horror, and African-American film releases, along with some comedy, action, romance, and family-friendly films.
