Fox International Productions functioned as the global production branch of 20th Century Fox, overseeing film creation in prominent regions such as China, Europe, India, and Latin America.
History
Founded in 2008 with Sanford Panitch at the helm, Fox International Productions amassed $900 million in box office earnings by the time Panitch moved to Sony Pictures in June 2015. In September 2015, Tomas Jegeus, who had been co-president of worldwide theatrical marketing and distribution at 20th Century Fox, took over as president. The division broadened its presence in Asia by forming a strategic development and production alliance with Chinese entertainment company Zhejiang Huace in November 2015. By December 2017, 20th Century Fox CEO Stacey Snider declared the closure of Fox International Productions, transitioning to a decentralized approach where local and regional offices would independently handle production and acquisition efforts.
Management and distribution
Between 2008 and 2015, Sanford Panitch led as president, succeeded by Tomas Jegeus until the division ceased operations. Stacey Snider held oversight responsibilities. The team was composed of experts from regions including China, Latin America, and Australia, highlighting the company's international scope.
