20th Century Studios: Difference between revisions

On December 14, 2017, [[The Walt Disney Company]] announced its plans to buy most of 21st Century Fox's assets, which included a bidding war with Comcast. The process was completed on March 20, 2019, with the last pre-Disney release from the studio being ''Alita: Battle Angel'', released on February 14, 2019. The remaining assets Disney didn't acquire, notably the Fox network and Fox News, were spun-off into a new company called Fox Corporation. On January 17, 2020, Disney announced that it would be dropping the word "Fox" from the company name, presumably to avoid confusion with Fox Corporation, renaming it to '''20th Century Studios''', along with [[Searchlight Pictures]]. Nevertheless, Disney continues to own perpetual rights to the 20th Century Fox name for the studio's legacy film library. However, the studio was still legally incorporated and traded as Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation until December 4, 2020. As of December 4, 2020, the company has been using 20th Century Studios, Inc. as copyright for 20th Century Studios and [[Searchlight Pictures]], while the company has been using 20th Television, Inc. for the copyright of [[20th Television]] productions as a Disney subsidiary. As of early 2020, titles from 20th Century Studios and Searchlight Pictures are released internationally through [[Buena Vista International]].
