For 85 years, 20th Century Fox has been a staple in Hollywood. It goes down as one of the longest running studios, producing such hits as “The Sound of Music,” and “Home Alone.” Everybody knows it’s logo and intro music that usually leads into most of the movies we’ve watched in our lives. All that’s about to change in 2020.
In an unexpected move, without any previous discussion, the Walt Disney Company is dropping the “Fox” name from its “20th Century Fox” brand. It has plans to rename the longtime studio as just “20th Century Studios.” Fox Searchlight production will also see a change- it will now be known as “Searchlight Pictures.”
Movie goers will get a glimpse of the rebranding on Searchlight Pictures’ “Downhill,” a drama/comedy starring Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, which hits theaters on February 14. “The Call of the Wild,” an adventure film starring Harrison Ford, will be the first film with the 20th Century Studios name, when it hits theaters on February 21.
