What's the deal with the Hellboy film rights?
The first Hellboy movie by Guillermo del Toro had the same production company as the second, Revolution Studios -- they had just been distributed by different people (Sony and Universal, respectively). Then the reboot at Lionsgate was credited to the same producers as the other two, but at a completely different production company -- Millennium Films, which, when I looked it up on Wikipedia, it claimed fell defunct long before 2019.
How is all that possible? Also, when do the rights to Hellboy expire at Lionsgate?
