Searchlight Pictures is an American film production company within the sister company of a larger studio, 20th Century Studios, all of which are parts of The Walt Disney Company.
History[]
From 1982 to 1985, prior to the creation of Searchlight, Fox previously released independent films and specialty releases under the banner of 20th Century-Fox International Classics, later renamed 20th Century-Fox Specialized Film Division, then TLC Films. The most notable of the releases under these banners include Bill Cosby: Himself, Eating Raoul, The Gods Must Be Crazy, Reuben, Reuben, and Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.[1]
In 2006, a sub-label, Fox Atomic, was created to produce and/or distribute genre films.[2] Fox Atomic closed down in 2009.[3]
