Century City Studios

the Century Studio was a complex formerly owned by 20th Century Fox

History
In 1925, knowing that sound pictures were just around the corner, Fox began buying the assets of several small sound-on-film companies. He also bought the 300 acre ranch of silent cowboy star, Tom Mix. Located just west of Beverly Hills, Fox called the new studio and back lot "Movietone." in 1928, the studio was opened for newer stars and sold the second studio in the corner of Sunset and Western in Hollywood to 20th Century Pictures.

in 1935, Twentieth Century Pictures purchased Fox film and merged into 20th Century Fox, and bought the Sunset-Western Studio back. during the 1940's and the early 1950's, the studio was in a fight with United Artists for the Glendale Studio. in 1956, United Artists won the Glendale studio and punched Fox out. Fox keeps the Stages, but not the Backlot (due to losing the glendale studio back to United Artists).

In 1961, needing cash very badly (due to some film failures, UA Winning the glendale studio in 1955, and Cleopatra's 10 million dollar budget), 20th Century-Fox sold it's backlot to Alcoa, who developed the land into Century City, leaving only the front lot and sound stages to carry on the motion picture business.

Fox could never produce another movie in Century City for Three Decades, until Home Alone (1990) was made at this studio.

it has happened when Fox Produce and Distributes all movies like Independence Day (1996), Anastasia (1997), Titanic (1997; International only), Doctor Dolittle (1998), Office Space (1999), Titan A.E. (2000), all the Stant Movie Sequels (2003-2007), and Ice Age (2002). 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 were bad years for Fox because, PDI Went Defunct, Dune Entertainment went to Warner Bros., and the company merged With the Weinstein Company to form Fox-Weinstein Pictures.

in 2003, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer joined forces with Fox to name this the Century City Studios. it has Fox and MGM movies filmed in this studio until 2011, when MGM moved to Beverly Hills.

in 2018, the studio was sold to Entertainment One, created it's first television station called KEOT. there films are not filmed in this Century City Studio again.
