Why this status applies

The film 'Panic in Echo Park' is a television movie directed by John Llewellyn Moxey that premiered on June 23, 1977. Because the film was produced and first published in the United States between 1964 and 1977, it falls under the Copyright Renewal Act of 1992, which granted automatic renewal to all works in their first term of copyright during that window. A primary registration was filed by the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) on June 21, 1977, under registration number PA0000010461. Under the 1976 Copyright Act, works created and registered in 1977 are protected for 95 years from the date of publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter.
