It is owned by the extremely famous company called Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation. Moreover, Fox Film Corporation and Twentieth Century Pictures merged to become a significant American film studio in 1935. The sole owner of the company who started the same was William Fox, a New York City exhibitor who began distributing films in the year of 1904 and producing them in 1913. He relocated his studio to Los Angeles and gave it the name Fox Film Corporation in 1915. A German sound-on-film technique was patented by the business in 1927, and later that year it released the first sound newsreel, Fox-Movietone News. On the cusp of the Great Depression, Fox lost control of his business in 1930 after incurring significant debt to fund his actions. The studio eventually collapsed before merging with Twentieth Century Pictures. Following Zanuck’s resignation as the Warner Brothers studio’s head of production, Joseph Schenck and Darryl F. Zanuck established the latter business.
