As a result of EMKA, Ltd.'s acquisition of the pre-1950 Paramount library (which includes this and the following three "Road" pictures) and the later transfer of rights to the fifth and sixth films to FremantleMedia and Columbia Pictures Television, Paramount would end up losing the rights to all the "Road" pictures it originally produced (the last film, The Road to Hong Kong, was produced and released by United Artists, who retain the rights to the film to this day).

The copyright to Road to Singapore was renewed in a timely manner by EMKA. Originally registered for copyright as LP9497 with a declared publication date of March 22, 1940, the continuation of copyright was contingent upon renewal between the 27th and 28th anniversaries of that date. Renewal occurred March 31, 1967, number R407858. Although the film opened a week prior to the publication date, the renewal is still timely even if the earlier date were considered publication date. Renewal was filed by EMKA, Ltd., today part of NBC Universal Television Distribution, so thus Universal Studios now handles theatrical and home video distribution. The copyright is now scheduled to run until 95 years after the publication date (2035).

Singapore

The description at the top of the article says that the film takes place in Singapore, but it doesn't. They never reach Singapore, instead stopping in the fictional island of "Kaigoon". The header saying this is a Singapore-related article should probably be removed as well. 207.237.196.98 (talk) 19:45, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
