Merger of 1935
Fox Film Corporation was run by Sidney Kent from 1930 to 1935. The company was in near bankruptcy in early 1935. It was not making enough money on its films but Sol Lesser Productions made a contract to make films with Fox Film. While on 20th Century Pictures' side, it was making way more gross on the box office than Fox Film. On May 31, 1935, during the making of Fox Film's "Under the Pampas Moon", Sidney announced that the two companies intended merging. Eventually, the same day, they merged to form their biggest success, 20th Century-Fox.
