Oh no, listen carefully to the announcer. About 15% of those movies on saturday night are, “Scifi Origionals”.

Which after cruising the IMDB seems to mean that Scifi picked up initial distribution rights. Maybe someone else can figure this out, it seems as if the Scifi channel set up a production company which makes some of the films they show? Dunno it got confusing tracking down who owned what.
