This is like claiming turner is the producing studio of gwtw. Orion does not exist anymore, Warner owns the catalog, that does.not change that Orion produced the movie. Note for those wondering MGM produced gwtw in 1949, years before turner ever existed.

Warner is the theatrical distributor nothing more or less, Tim. Orion was the producing studio.

I don't think he is disputing that, but WB is on the credits and he is simply asking wether they should be listed or not.  I think they should, but it appears in this case Orion should be listed first, then followed by any of the production companies if any, and then WB, of course IMO.

What part exactly?

What part exactly?

Studios
List the Studios in the following priority.

Theatrical Release Studio(s)
Production Company(s)
Media Companies
The company(ies) responsible for the publishing (creating, assembling and ordering of the DVD/HD/BD content) and/or physical distribution of the media.

Enter in the following order:

Publisher (Content)  - Usually found as a logo on the bottom of the back cover or in the credit block, often containing the words "home video" or "home entertainment. Secondary publishers (eg. The Criterion Collection's Eclipse label) may also be listed.

Licensor (Home Video Rights) - Usually found (dated with the year of the DVD release) on the back of the box or in the credit block with words words regarding "under license from...".

Distributor - Usually found as a logo on the bottom of the back cover or in the credit block with words regarding distribution.

Some companies (using similar but different names) may serve more than one function. List such companies only once, using the name from the logo. List secondary publishers even if the name is similar. If you are unsure of the function performed, do not list the company.

Do not abbreviate Studio or Media Company names. e.g, use Universal Pictures not just Universal; The Criterion Collection rather than Criterion or Criterion Collection; Walt Disney Pictures not just Disney. Exception: If the studio name is too long to fit, use standard abbreviation rules.

Omit company suffixes such as LLC, Ltd., Inc.

Omit any locality-specific suffix. e.g. Enter Paramount Home Entertainment, not Paramount Home Entertainment (UK)

There is further information about correct listings of studios and media companies, and the opportunity to ask questions if unsure, in the Contributions forum.

No, Orion was the theatrical release studio. It was just "released thru" WB.

Of course I remember why, ace. Btw, double media companies are another animal, there are only three lines in the studio section, one of which is the section title. The rule is clear and it is one of the simplest, only users can take something Di clear and claim it is unclear which is done all too frequently. Then other users without knowledge claim to know when they really dont know a thing.

Where in the rules is it stated so clearly Skip?

Lol, tim now you are trying to play with words. Orion  never released a film themselves, that come to mind, they are or were a production studio, Warner was one of several companies through whom their films were theatrically released or distributed.  The deals could vary, perhaps Warner might do it all, perhaps the would handle us release and someone else worldwide release or vice versa. Watching these things twist and spin is hysterically funny and sad st the same time.
