The Fox Film Corporation was an independent film production company that was formed on February 1, 1915 by the theater "chain" pioneer William Fox. Fox formed Fox Film Corporation by merging two companies he had established in 1913: Greater New York Film Rental, a distribution firm, which was part of the independents; and Box Office Attractions Company, a production company.
After the Wall Street Crash of 1929, Fox lost control of the company in 1930, during a hostile takeover. Under new president Sidney Kent, the new owners merged the company with Twentieth Century Pictures, Inc. to form 20th Century Fox in 1935.
