After Viacom spun off DreamWorks Studios in 2008, Universal Studios was planned to resume distributing DreamWorks' movies, but this deal fell through. In April 2016, Comcast (which owns Universal Studios) purchased DreamWorks Animation for $3.8 Billion. It is therefore likely that when the current distribution deal with 20th Century Fox finishes, DreamWorks Animation's films will be distributed by them.
