In 1900, he started his own company, which he sold in 1904 to purchase his first nickelodeon. Always more of an entrepreneur than a showman, he concentrated on acquiring and building theaters. Beginning in 1914, New Jersey-based Fox bought films outright from the Balboa Amusement Producing Company in Long Beach, California, for distribution to his own theaters and then for rental to other theaters across the country. He formed the Fox Film Corporation on February 1, 1915, with insurance and banking money provided by the McCarter, Kuser and Usar families of Newark, New Jersey, and the small New Jersey investment house of Eisele and King. The company's first film studio was leased in Fort Lee, New Jersey, where many other early film studios were based at the beginning of the 20th century.[7] He now had the capital to acquire facilities and expand his production capacity.Ouch!!

"For numerous years, many historians claimed that 20th Century Fox was founded in 1915, the same year Fox founded his film enterprise. For instance, it marked 1945 as its 30th anniversary, although many historians claimed 1935 as its original founding. "
