4. 20th Century Fox
How it was established?
Twentieth Century Pictures' Joseph Schenck and Darryl F. Zanuck left United
Artists over a stock dispute, and began merger talks with the management of
financially struggling Fox Film. Spyros Skouras, then manager of the Fox West
Coast Theatres, helped make it happen (and later became president of the new
company). Although it was still much smaller than Fox, Twentieth Century was
the senior partner in the merger. Aside from the theatre chain and a first-rate
studio lot, Zanuck and Schenck felt there was not much else to Fox. At first, it
was expected that the new company was originally to be called "Fox-Twentieth
Century". However, 20th Century brought more to the bargaining table besides
Schenck and Zanuck. The company's films retained the 20th Century Films
searchlight logo on their opening credits as well as the 20th Century opening
fanfare, but with the name changed to 20th Century-Fox.
