-For over 80 years, 20th Century was one of the major American film studios. It was formed in 1935 as '''Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation''' by the merger of Fox Film and Twentieth Century Pictures, and one of the original "Big Five" among eight majors of Hollywood's Golden Age. In 1985, the studio removed the hyphen in the name (becoming '''Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation''') after being acquired by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, which was renamed 21st Century Fox in 2013 after it spun-off its publishing assets. Disney purchased most of 21st Century Fox's assets, which included 20th Century Fox, on March 20, 2019. The studio adopted its current name as a trade name on January 17, 2020, and subsequently started to use it for the copyright of 20th Century and Searchlight Pictures productions on December 4.
