Fox International Productions was the division of 20th Century Fox in charge of local production in China, Europe, India and Latin America. History 2008-2010 In 2008, 20th Century Fox started its international division, Fox International Productions, under president Sanford Panitch. The division was to not only handle international distribution of Fox films and third-party films, but also produce films in international countries, such as Latin America, India, China and Europe. The division's productions would be released on home video by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment (now 20th Century Studios Home Entertainment) and streaming on Hulu as of 2012. From 2008 until its closure, the division has released 80 films either in the US or internationally. The division's first release was the international version of Tom Cruise's Valkyrie (December 2008). By 2010, the company had two critically acclaimed and Academy Award-nominated films with When We Leave and The Yellow Sea. From 2009 to the division's closure, Fox International handled Colombian and Swedish distribution of films produced by Sony Pictures Animation. From 2010 to 2016, Fox International released Russian films. 2010-2017 Fox International then handled co-distribution of the Brazilian animated film Worms (June 2013). The company had $900 million in box-office receipts by the time Panitch left the company for Sony Pictures on June 2, 2015. Co-president of worldwide theatrical marketing and distribution for 20th Century Fox Tomas Jegeus was named president of Fox International Productions effective September 1, 2015. The company struck a development and production deal in November 2015 with Zhejiang Huace, a Chinese entertainment group.

Closure and aftermath In December 2017, 20th Century Fox film chairman-CEO Stacey Snider indicated that Fox International Productions would be dissolved in favor of each local and regional offices producing or acquiring projects, resulting in many upcoming projects that Fox International was set to distribute outside of the US to be sold to either its parent company 20th Century Fox or Searchlight Pictures, or even Buena Vista International (Fox International's successor). The division's library is currently owned by 20th Century Fox (now 20th Century Studios), while Buena Vista International is
