Disney's Fox Deal - 10 Properties That Will Be Selling Points For Disney+

20th Century Fox has been in existence as a film studio since 1935, with the two companies that existed pre-merger, 20th Century Pictures and Fox Film, dating back to 1933 and 1915 respectively. Since then the studio has released hundreds of films, with gargantuan successes balanced out by failures and creations that have been completely forgotten. The vast majority of these are now Disney’s to play with.

Many of Fox’s 25 highest grossing releases have been mentioned already – 3 Ice Age films and 5 X-Men films sit with Avatar and Titanic in the $500 million plus club, which also boasts an eclectic mix of other titles including Independence Day, Night At The Museum, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes, The Martian and last year’s Bohemian Rhapsody.

The amount of cult and critically acclaimed other films sitting in the studio’s back catalogue is staggering. These include action greats such as Die Hard, Predator and Point Break, Oscar contenders such as Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid, Patton and the French Connection, comedy classics such as Young Frankenstein, Big and Home Alone, and chilling horrors such as Alien and The Omen.

Fight Club, The Poseidon Adventure, Wall Street, Dodgeball, Kingsman…the list is endless. Disney won’t be able to drop them all at once given that individual streaming rights have been sold all over the place, but there are enough all-time greats to gradually release to Disney+ for years to come.
