HISTORY<\/strong><\/p>\n
Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation<\/a>, or 20th<\/sup> Century Fox, is one of America\u2019s top six film studios and a film distributor overseen by 21st<\/sup> Century Fox<\/a>. The corporation was formed in 1935, after the Twentieth Century Pictures and the Fox Film Corporation merger. William Fox, a film distributor, founded the Fox Film Corporation in 1914. When the Great Depression hit, the Fox Film Corporation had trouble financing its high-tech equipment, prompting the merger. Joseph Schenck and Darryl F. Zanuck founded Twentieth Century Pictures in 1933. In 1981, Marvin Davis<\/a>, who eventually sold it to publisher Rupert Murdoch<\/a> in 1985, bought the corporation. Murdoch consolidated both his film and television companies into Fox Inc., which was under News Corporation. In 2013, it split into two publishing and television\/film companies, News Corporation and 21st<\/sup> Century Fox respectively. Its two highest grossing films were both of James Cameron<\/a>\u2019s Avatar (2009) <\/em><\/a>and Titanic (1997)<\/em><\/a> [1].<\/a><\/p>\n
