NEW YORK, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 10th Aug, 2017 ) - Media-entertainment giant 21st Century Fox on Wednesday reported a drop in profit in the past quarter as weaker box office revenues hurt performance for the Murdoch family-controlled group.

Its film segment which includes the Fox Hollywood studios saw a revenue drop of 11.5 percent, stemming from an unfavorable comparison with a year ago when it released its hit action film "Deadpool." Fox saw improvement however in its cable television operations which include the Fox news Channel.
