Why this status applies

A Ticket to Tomahawk was released in 1950 by 20th Century-Fox Film Corp. and registered for US copyright on May 18, 1950, under registration number LP158. Under the US Copyright Act of 1909, works from this era required a renewal filing in their 28th year to maintain protection. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress CCE confirms that 20th Century-Fox Film Corp. successfully renewed the copyright on December 19, 1977, under renewal number R679237. This renewal extended the protection for a second term, which was later extended to a total of 95 years from the date of publication by the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998. As a result of this timely renewal, the film remains under copyright in the United States. It is not scheduled to enter the public domain until January 1, 2046. The rights are currently held by Walt Disney Studios (as the successor in interest to 20th Century Fox), and the film remains in active commercial distribution via streaming and physical media.
