Company Overview<\/strong><\/h5>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation<\/a>, commonly referred to as 20th Century Fox, is one of the six major American film studios. The company was founded nearly eighty years ago on May 31st, 1935, as a result of the merge between Twentieth Century Pictures and Fox Film Corporation [VII]<\/a>. Fifty years later, in 1985, this studio continued to blossom, becoming a subsidiary of News Corporation [VIII]<\/a>. In 2013 however, News Corporation separated into News Corp and 21st Century Fox, with the latter preserving Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation. Based in Los Angeles California, this studio is currently the second largest film studio, following Warner Brothers [IX]<\/a>. While involved in all aspects of the film industry, this company mainly focuses on film production and distribution. 20th Century Fox is infamous for creating everything from their thriving Star Wars series<\/a> to the highest grossing film worldwide, Avatar<\/a>\u00a0[X]<\/a>.<\/h5>\n

Financials<\/strong><\/h6>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In 2013, 20th Century Fox had a total domestic gross of $1.06 billion dollars, a 4% growth from profits in 2012. Having 18 films released that year, each film made an average of $87.5 million in profit [XI]<\/a>. So far in 2014, (through December 1st), 20th Century Fox has seen their best results of the past decade, grossing a total of $1.5 billion domestically [XII]<\/a>.<\/h6>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 In the 3rd\u00a0quarter of 2014, including the months of July, August, and September, the studio grossed $427\u00a0million through 9 films that played\u00a0in theaters around the globe. Only 3 of these,\u00a0Dawn of the Planet Apes<\/a>, Let’s Be Cops<\/a>, <\/em>and\u00a0The Maze Runner<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>were actually released during this time period though.\u00a0With budgets of $34 and $17 million, both\u00a0Let’s Be Cops\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0The Maze Runner\u00a0<\/em>were successful in breaking even during opening weekend. Nonetheless, neither of them can compare their\u00a0profits to\u00a0Dawn of the Planet Apes.\u00a0<\/em>While the budget for this sequel was $170 million, the film gathered\u00a0a total gross of $708 million. From just this one movie, 20th Century Fox profited over $530 million\u00a0<\/em>[XIII]<\/a>.<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0In the 4th quarter on the other hand, a mere 2 films were produced and distributed, Gone Girl<\/em><\/a> and The Book of Life<\/em><\/a>. Both\u00a0of these movies were a huge success, grossing $416 million for the studio [XIV]<\/a>.<\/h6>\n
