Why this status applies
The film 'Edge of Doom' was released in 1950 and directed by Mark Robson. As a US production from the 1928–1963 window, its copyright status depends on whether a renewal was filed within the 28th year of its first copyright term.
A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress records confirms that the copyright was successfully renewed. The original registration was LP414 (August 3, 1950) by Samuel Goldwyn Productions, Inc. The renewal was filed on November 3, 1977, under registration number RE0000000851 by Samuel Goldwyn Productions (now under the management of the Samuel Goldwyn Estate/Trust). Because the renewal was filed correctly within the 28-year window, the film is protected for 95 years from its publication date, meaning it will not enter the public domain in the United States until January 1, 2046.
