WTF?

You restored Mr. Fox on this article :-( --75.137.127.26 (talk) 01:39, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Fox is released by 20th Century Fox, not Fox Searchlight Pictures. I removed it from the 2009 section. --TimonandPumbaaFan (talk) 09:43, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

1st link in References section is no longer valid. It refers to a page on Yahoo and is missing. Please remove. --Hackster78 (talk) 06:08, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Distribution and mission

More context on what Fox Searchlight is known for in the industry would be valuable. For example Slumdog and Crazy Heart were "discovered" out of obscurity, and distributed into Oscar fame. Is that what Searchlight specializes in/is known for/prides itself in? What is this process? I don't know the answers but some industry sources (such as interviews or focus pieces) with text should exist out there that explain what make Searchlight special. Currently, all this article has on this process is the single word "distribution" in the first sentence: "...and is variously involved with the production and/or distribution of these films", and that misses the point of some of Searchlight's biggest Oscar successes. Request more info.--Santaduck (talk) 17:01, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fox Corporation

Why do you not add Fox Corporation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.122.211.109 (talk) 00:02, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Because they don't own Fox Searchlight? Trivialist (talk) 01:22, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rename

A Disney spokesman confirmed that "Searchlight Pictures" is now the official name according to this. So, unless there are any objections, the article should be moved as well.Starforce¹³ 21:08, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since its rename, maybe it's best we move all the films in the Fox Searchlight Pictures films category to the Searchlight Pictures films category to follow. XSMan2016 (talk) 13:33, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
