Merger
edit20th Century Pictures merged with the bankrupt Fox Film Corporation on May 31, 1935 after talks began about merging the two companies the same day, to form 20th Century-Fox Film Corporation (the hyphen was dropped in 1985 and it was shortened to just 20th Century Studios in 2020) which already had its first film right after the merger which was Under the Pampas Moon, released a day later.
