37,500

The film '37,500' is a silent drama produced by the Lubin Manufacturing Company and directed by John Ince. It was released in the United States on January 10, 1916. Under current US copyright law, all works published or registered before January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain. This film, having been published in 1916, falls well before this cutoff. Its copyright originally lasted for a maximum of 56 years (an initial 28-year term plus a 28-year renewal), which would have expired in 1972 regardless of renewal. Consequently, the work is definitively in the public domain in the United States.
