20th Century Fox Home Entertainment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
20th Century Fox Home Entertainment is the present name of a company established in 1967 as Magnetic Video Corporation, and later as 20th Century Fox Video, CBS/Fox Video and Fox Video.
It was re-named as 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment in 1995, alternating with the Fox Video name until 1999. They also currently distribute Pathé and Lions Gate Entertainment DVD and VHS titles in the UK, and the HIT Entertainment DVD titles in North America.
They have also started to distribute MGM DVD titles worldwide since MGM ended their home video agreement with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, with the exception of certain co-productions between MGM and Columbia Pictures (in such cases, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is responsible for domestic video rights). Fox's best selling DVD titles are currently the various season boxsets of The Simpsons. [[1]]. [2]
They also once served as the U.S. distributor for television and/or movie products released by The BBC from the 1980s to the 1990s, but those U.S. distribution rights expired at the start of 2000, and were then given to Warner Home Video.
