TheFox Film Corporation(also known asFox Studios) was an American Independentfilmproduction studio formed byWilliam Fox(1879–1952) in 1915, by combining his earlier Greater New York Film Rental Company and Box Office Attractions Film Company (founded 1913).

The company\'s first film studios were set up inFort Lee, New Jersey, but in 1917, William Fox sentSol M. WurtzeltoHollywood, Californiato oversee the studio\'s newWest Coastproduction facilities, where the climate was more hospitable for filmmaking. On July 23, 1926, the company bought thepatentsof theMovietone sound systemfor recording sound ontofilm.

After the Wall Streetcrash of 1929, William Fox lost control of the company in 1930, during ahostile takeover. Under new president Sidney Kent, the new owners began conversations of a fusion withTwentieth Century Pictures, under foundersJoseph M. Schenckand his friendDarryl Zanuck. Schenck, Zanuck, andSpyros Skourasmerged the Fox Studios with Twentieth Century to form20th Century-Foxin 1935.

HistoryBackground

William Foxentered the film industry in 1904 when he purchased a one-third share of aBrooklynnickelodeonfor $1,667.He reinvested his profits from that initial location, expanding to fifteen similar venues in the city, and purchasingprintsfrom the major studios of the experiencing further success presenting livevaudevilleroutines along with motion pictures, he expanded into larger venues beginning with his purchase of the disused Gaiety theater,and continuing with acquisitions throughout New York City and New Jersey, including theAcademy of Music.

Fox invested further in the film industry by founding the Greater New York Film Rental Company as afilm distributor.The major film studios responded by forming theMotion Picture Patents Companyin 1908 and theGeneral Film Companyin 1910, in an effort to create amonopolyon the creation and distribution of motion pictures. Fox refused to sell out to the monopoly, and sued under theSherman Antitrust Act, eventually receiving a $370,0]settlement, and ending restrictions on the length of films and the prices that could be paid for screenplays.

In 1914, reflecting the broader scope of his business, he renamed it the Box Office Attraction Film Rental Company.He entered into a contract with theBalboa Amusement Producing Companyfilm studio, purchasing all of their films for showing in hisNew York areatheaters and renting the prints to other exhibitors nationwide.He also continued to distribute material from other sources, such asWinsor McCay\'s early animated filmGertie the Dinosaur.Later that year, Fox concluded that it was unwise to be so dependent on other companies, so he purchased theÉclairstudio facilities inFort Lee, New Jersey, along with property inStaten Island,and arranged for actors and crew. The company became a film studio, with its name shortened to the Box Office Attractions Company; its first release wasLife\'s Shop Window.

Fox Film Corporation

Always more of an entrepreneur than a showman, Fox concentrated on acquiring and building theaters; pictures were secondary. The company\'s first film studios were set up inFort Leewhere it and many other earlyfilm studiosinAmerica\'s first motion picture industrywere based at the beginning of the 20th century.

That same year, in 1914, Fox Film began making motion pictures in California, and in 1915 decided to build its own permanent studio. The company leased the Los AngelesEdendalestudio of theSelig Polyscope Companyuntil its own studio, located at Western Avenue and Sunset Boulevard, was completed in 1916.In 1917, William Fox sentSol M. Wurtzelto Hollywood to oversee the studio\'sWest Coastproduction facilities where a more hospitable and cost-effective climate existed for filmmaking. Between 1915 and 1919, Fox Films earned millions of dollars through films featuringTheda Bara, known as \"The Vamp\" due to her unique habit for displaying exoticism.

With the introduction of sound technology, Fox moved to acquire the rights to asound-on-filmprocess. In the years 1925–26, Fox purchased the rights to the work ofFreeman Harrison Owens, the U.S. rights to theTri-Ergonsystem invented by three German inventors, and the work ofTheodore Case. This resulted in theMovietone sound systemlater known as \"Fox Movietone\" developed at theMovietone Studio. Later that year, the company began offering films with a music-and-effects track, and the following year Fox began the weeklyFox Movietone Newsfeature, that ran until 1963. The growing company needed space, and in 1926 Fox acquired300acres(1.2km2)in the open country west of Beverly Hills and built \"Movietone City\", the best-equipped studio of its time.

Because William Fox opted to remain in New York, much of the Hollywood filmmaking at the Fox Film Corporation was instead managed by Fox\'s movie makers.Janet Gaynorwould also become one of the company\'s most prominent stars by the late 1920s.
