Studio Behind Love, Simon Closing After Disney-Fox Merger
Fox 2000 was also behind titles like The Devil Wears Prada, Life of Pi, The Fault in Our Stars, and Hidden Figures.
The film studio behind Love, Simon, one of our favorite (and queerest) movies to come out in the past few years, is officially shutting down.
According to a report by Variety, Fox 2000 Pictures, a label of 20th Century Fox, is shutting down following the Walt Disney Company’s "$71.3 billion acquisition of much of 21st Century Fox’s film and television assets."
Fox 2000 was notable for releasing a diverse range of titles, the likes of which included Love, Simon, Hidden Figures, The Hate U Give, The Devil Wears Prada, The Fault in Our Stars, and a whole bunch of other fan favorite films.
While Variety is also reporting "Disney is committed to completing the Fox 2000 films currently in production," we can't help but feel a little sad that a company that gave so many viewers such diverse films is going under. Hopefully, representation is still a part of the new Disney-Fox giant's mission...
