premise: This is a list of films produced by the U.S. film studio 20th Century Fox Film Corporation and released between its May 31, 1935 creation as a merger between Fox Film Corporation (1915–1935) and 20th Century Pictures (1933–1936) until 1999. For subsequent releases by 20th Century Fox, see List of 20th Century Fox films (2000–present).
hypothesis: 20th Century Fox Film Corporation entered bankruptcy in 1944.
reason: The statement mentions nothing either supporting of denying Fox Film entering Bankruptcy in 1944, but seems to assume that if it did, would have ceased to exist and would not have been able to have merged with 20th Century Pictures in 1999.
