Movie Posters Discussion Thread

I still have it, but I wasn't really into collecting yet, so it's not in the best condition anymore. Tape is on the back and it's a little wrinkled. I look back at it and wish I would've kept it in better shape. A little TLC could make it all better!

Was the Spider-Man 3 style you referred to this one?

Or this one?

Spider-Man 3 had a few confusing styles made, particular the advance teaser. There was one with red/blue Spider-Man on the left, Black Spider-Man on the right. There was then another style which was reversed (black on left/red-blue on right). There were then two more styles which were like the ones above but half the poster was glossy, the other half matte-rain drops/reflection in the window.

It's the second one. I want to say that all of the poster had the rain effect, but I'd have to double check one day.

More than likely they did, I only saw a few that didn't have the matte rain drop effect so yours probably has them. The first link I provided was not a theatrical one-sheet for Spider-Man 3 but wanted to see if perhaps that was the poster you were talking about. It was actually printed by Sony, single-sided only, and was originally going to be a giveaway at San Diego Comic-Con the year before the film came out but after the poster was printed, the giveaway event was nixed. The problem though is with them being single-sided, they were easily reprinted, but no double-sided ones were made, only single-sided originals and more than likely single-sided reprints.

Is $50 a good price for Original Mulholland Drive poster (2-sided Version A 27x40) ? (Also, is movieposterarena on eBay reliable/true?)

This thread has slowed down a lot... Ready to see what's coming with WB's movie posters the next few years with BvS and Justice League and other WB/DC comic book movies... I need a regular style Mad Max Fury Road and all I can find is advance posters. Gotta have the credits.

I don't believe a "final" style with credits was done, I think there are two domestic styles but neither have credits, which is odd. I know WB has done this before where they have put out a second advance style for a film and then put out a final style with credits but using the same artwork as the 2nd advance. In fact I believe Sony has done it as well as other studios. I have not seen a style with credits though for Mad Max yet, but that doesn't mean one doesn't exist.

If you are into posters like I am, you can get some great hours out of looking through the pressbook pages of movies. They show ads for the movies that were used in the newspapers, using mainly the poster art but sometimes with different captions and tag lines. I spend hours looking at these, there's alot of full page scans of each movie's campaign book, plus many times there's a scan of a page that shows the movie posters in different sizes for the films.... there must be 20 pages of these:

I got one at a WB advance viewing a small version. I thought it was the one hanging in the theater but I may be wrong. I wanted a one sheet of it.

Thanks for the heads up! Had to fill out some surveys to get enough points but my Age of Ultron Poster is on its way!

Yes! I have been checking daily and saw the Tomorrowland poster yesterday, and was getting nervous about not seeing an Avengers poster.

I don't see them, guess I missed it. :/

[ChuckT43]

Tomorrow Land is still up but the Avengers is gone. I may have been dreaming last night but I had the thought that I had to check DMR. I skipped it for about 2 days. For the last Avengers movie that happen to me. I missed only a few days and was too late by the time I saw a post here about it. Just got lucky this time I guess. Hope a few here were able to get one. Sorry for those who didn't.

[Kinsella5]

Now you guys just need to pray that DMR packages them well and your Avengers 2 posters arrive with no damage. That would be the poster to get if it was the final style as it is VERY difficult for dealers to get. I just got them in but took some arm twisting, and thankfully mine are mint as can be. ;-)

[Stoney Jackson]

I can't wait to have it hanging in my theater next to Guardians and Winter Soldier. Now I gotta start building the damn backlit frames!

I grabbed one as well, thanks!

[Underworld54]

Grabbed one too, thanks for the heads up guys. I had 2250 points just sitting waiting for posters to show up. Guardians never showed up on the site so I bought 2 for $30 off someone.
