Film Ownership- Universal/Paramount


Does anyone know why Universal and not Paramount seems to own this movie right now?

From Wikipedia:

"In 1957, MCA acquired Paramount Pictures' pre-1950 sound feature film library through a newly created MCA subsidiary, EMKA, Ltd."

"In 1995, Seagram Company Ltd. acquired 80% of MCA from Panasonic. On December 9, 1996, the new owners dropped the MCA name; the company became Universal Studios, Inc., and its music division, MCA Music Entertainment Group, was renamed Universal Music Group."
