In 1935, Twentieth Century Pictures, Inc. and Fox Film Corporation merged to form Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation (the hyphen was dropped in 1984). During the Golden Age of Hollywood, it was one of the "Big Five" studios (the others were MGM, Paramount Pictures, RKO Radio Pictures, and Warner Bros.). From 2013 to 2019, it was a subsidiary of Twenty-First Century Fox Inc., which was formed when News Corporation split into two companies. As of January 2023, their three most financially successful films are Avatar, released in 2009, its sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water, released in 2022, and Titanic (under international rights), released in 1997 (all of which were directed by James Cameron). 20th Century Fox also has a specialty division named Fox Searchlight Pictures (currently known as Searchlight Pictures).

On December 14, 2017, The Walt Disney Company announced its plans to buy most of 21st Century Fox's assets,[1] 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 of said year. 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. As of that day, 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 that early year, titles from 20th Century Studios and Searchlight Pictures are released internationally through Buena Vista International.
