20th Century Studios, Inc., formerly known as 20th Century Fox Film Corporation or simply 20th Century Fox, is a motion picture production company founded in 1935 out of the merger of Fox Film Corporation (founded in 1915) and 20th Century Pictures, Inc. (founded in 1932).

Popular franchises under the Fox umbrella include, but are not limited to, Planet of the Apes, Alien, Predator, Alien vs. Predator, Home Alone, Die Hard, Ice Age, Avatar, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Rio and Anastasia.

Fox was the distributor of the first six Star Wars movies, though they only owned the first film, until The Walt Disney Company bought Lucasfilm Ltd. on October 30, 2012.[1]

The studio was involved in the development of The Peanuts Movie. It also owns the Fox television network. Fox, under different home video labels, was the principal distributor of previous theatrical features A Boy Named Charlie Brown and Snoopy Come Home for most of the VHS era, as they had a long-term home video partnership with CBS (the owner of the Cinema Center Films library). CBS/FOX Video video released the films under its own label in 1983 and 1984, under its defunct Playhouse Video label in 1985, and under the Fox Video label in 1992 (Snoopy Come Home would also be once more by Fox Video in 1996). Paramount Home Entertainment would assume distribution rights of the movies starting in 2001.

On December 14, 2017, the Walt Disney Company announced that it would be acquiring most of Fox's parent company, 21st Century Fox, including the film studio,[2] which was approved by both companies on July 27, 2018.[3]
