Indiewire:

During a Tuesday afternoon earnings conference call, Disney movie chief Bob Iger promised that Searchlight would continue its normal operations under the ownership of Disney. “It’s hard to argue that Searchlight needs help from anyone," he said, pointing to the speciality outfit’s many Oscar wins. “Our strategy is to give the studio what it needs to support what it does best."

All good news here.

Fox Searchlight has been home to some of the most original, enjoyable movies of the past decade. Makes me happy they’ll keep doing what they do best.
