20th Century Studios, a privately owned company headquartered in the US, operates as a tier 1 media tech buyer and is a subsidiary of Walt Disney Studios. Founded in 1935, the company manages content rights and has approximately 6260 employees, reporting $2.1 billion in revenue as of 2025. The company functions as an American film production company and a primary live-action studio division of The Walt Disney Studios, a segment of Disney Entertainment. Formed on 31 May 1935 through the merger of Fox Film Corporation and Twentieth Century Pictures, the company operated for over eight decades as "20th Century Fox." Following The Walt Disney Company’s $71.3 billion acquisition of 21st Century Fox assets in March 2019, the entity was rebranded to its current name in January 2020 to distinguish it from the newly independent Fox Corporation. Historically anchored at the Fox Studio Lot in Century City, the studio relocated its administrative operations to the Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank, California. The studio manages an intellectual property catalog and is recognized for generating cinematic franchises, including Avatar, Planet of the Apes, Alien, Predator, Die Hard, and the X-Men film series.
On July 7, 2026, Takashi Yamazaki, the Oscar-winning director of "Godzilla Minus One," which reinvigorated the kaiju genre and won for Best Visual Effects, commenced work on an epic project titled 'Nue' at 20th Century Studios. This follows reports from July 3, 2026, indicating that creators are optimistic about a potential sequel to "Alita: Battle Angel," five years after its theatrical debut, driven by a devoted fan following. Previously, on June 25, 2026, the acclaimed horror film "Barbarian" received a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray SteelBook physical release, four years after its initial theatrical run, which had surpassed box office expectations despite the prior absence of a physical format.
