- Overview
- History[edit]
Fox 2000 Pictures was an American film production company within The Walt Disney Studios. It was a sister studio of the larger film studio 20th Century Fox and Fox Searchlight Pictures, specializing in producing independent films in mid-range releases that largely targeted underserved groups. The company dissolved on May 14, 2021, following the release of The Woman in the Window on Netflix, and the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by The Walt Disney Company on March 20, 2019.
Most films from Fox 2000 Pictures were released under the 20th Century Fox banner, and sometimes under Fox Searchlight Pictures. Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures distributed the films produced by Fox 2000 in theatrical markets since 2019 until its closure in 2021.
Fox 2000 Pictures formed as a division of 20th Century Fox in 1994 with Laura Ziskin as president. In May 1997, producer Art Linson moved his Knickerbocker Films banner from 20th Century Fox to Fox 2000 with a three-year exclusive production agreement.
In 2000, Ziskin left the division and Elizabeth Gabler was hired to replace her. In February 2012, Gabler renewed her contract as president of Fox 2000.
Fox 2000 signed Karen Rosenfelt's Sunswept Entertainment to a first-look production deal. In July 2014, the division agreed to a three-year first-look production deal with Color Force, a production partnership of Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson. The Jackal Group, a Fox Networks Group and Gail Berman partnership, signed a first-look feature film production deal with Fox 2000 for Berman in February 2015.
On March 20, 2019, The Walt Disney Company acquired a majority of 21st Century Fox, including Fox 2000. Disney originally announced that Fox 2000 would continue operating after the acquisition, which gave Disney 11 film units. However, the next day, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Disney would shut down the studio in October 2019 after The Woman in the Window. Deadline Hollywood was surprised as Fox 2000, considered to be ideal for streaming films, was the reason for the 21st Century Fox acquisition. However, Fox Searchlight Pictures was also an indie division leaving little room for Fox 2000. In August 2019, The Art of Racing in the Rain became the final theatrical film of the studio. The division shut down on May 14, 2021, after The Woman in the Window was delayed twice, first due to re-editing after test screenings and then because of the COVID-19 pandemic. On August 4, 2020, Disney sold the film to Netflix.
