They subsequently sold the company to Rupert Murdoch<\/a>, who merged the company into his own media conglomerate, News Corp<\/a>, in 1985. News Corp was split into two companies in 2013. There is now\u00a0the new News Corporation, which contained most of Murdoch\u2019s print media assets, and 21st Century Fox, which specializes in filmed entertainment and is the current parent company of 20th Century Fox [7<\/a>].<\/p>\n In the last fiscal year (June 30, 2014 – June 30, 2015), 20th Century Fox put out 25 films into general release domestically and they plan on releasing another 25 in fiscal 2016. Of those 25 planned films, Fox has already released six titles including Fantastic Four<\/a>, The Martian<\/a>, <\/i>and The Peanuts Movie<\/a>. <\/i>Fox\u2019s most anticipated movies yet to be released in 2016 include Deadpool<\/a><\/i>, X-Men: Apocalypse<\/a><\/i>, and Independence Day Resurgence<\/a><\/i>\u00a0[8<\/a>].\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n 20th Century Fox produces and distributes its films through a number of internal units:<\/p>\n Twentieth Century Fox and Fox2000 handles\u00a0films for mainstream audiences.<\/p>\n Logo for Fox Searchlight [9<\/a>] Source: foxsearchlight.com\u00a0<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n Fox Searchlight Pictures produces and releases smaller, independent films for specialized audiences.<\/a><\/p>\n Twentieth Century Fox Animation<\/a> produces and distributes feature length-animated films\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n Fox International Productions, Inc<\/a>. co-produces and acquires local-language films for distribution worldwide.<\/p>\n Fox generates money from its films by distributing the films theatrically (domestically and internationally), through home media formats\u00a0(such as digital distribution), on premium pay and SVOD, and on television and cable networks. Last year, the domestic home entertainment division for Fox released or re-released approximately 1,268 produced and acquired titles [10<\/a>].<\/p>\n For fiscal 2015, revenues at the Filmed Entertainment segment decreased $154 million, or 2%, as compared to fiscal 2014. Increased production and marketing costs as well as a decrease in home entertainment sales led to the change. 20th Century Fox\u2019s parent company, 21st Century Fox Corporation, has seen their stock dip in the last year. After reaching a high of $37.49 in December of 2014, the stock has fallen\u00a0to its lower point since January 2012. In September it stood at only $25.41.
