Boris was asked to help publicise the film, they wanted him to do some personal appearances, with some photo's, Boris agreed, saying "I'll do it as long as I don't have to see the dam thing". As much as I know where he was coming from, I do think this time he was wrong, as I love the film as do many others...

Thanks for the anecdote, Mr. Waines.
I agree that Boris was wrong...that A&C romp is a classic that only gets better with time.

Nice Jeff. I wish movies were still promoted this way. It seems like back then theater would go all out to promote a film. Now what do we get a few posters, some standees, and some vinyls. Yippee

When i zoomed in, the image got too blurred. But i think that is a real possibility, Chris.

You just have to love the ingenuity of movie marketeers at times!

This is for 'The Day After Tomorrow' and links beautifully with the film;

Ok, I'm bending the rules here as this isn't a Spider-man' poster as such but it did make me laugh and I bet the reactions of guys using the 'accessible' urinals was priceless;

Bringing matters back onto topic, the design of the IMAX cinema at London, Waterloo allows for some striking displays especially at night;

Those top two are very clever Paul and do deserve a

As marketing depts. focus more on digital media rather than our beloved posters to get their message across I do get a kick out of seeing them thinking outside of the box with promotions like these... just not very practical to slip into a plan chest or poster sleeve!

The Day after tomorrow.. what a great marketing. Superb. I went to see the film straight away, and enjoyed it too!

I must admit Day after Tomorrow is a Pleasure of mine, I up graded to the
Blu disc, and still watch this 2 or 3 times a year, but don't let it out of the bag..

Probably jeopardizing my man card here, but Angelina does nothing for me. I put her in the same camp as Madonna- just too much mileage on the tread.

Are those lobby cards for Star Wars under the vertical 50th anniversary banner and just above the 93 radio truck?

A few more, from yesteryear:

The one 6 sheet in the open foyer, facing out to the street, is for the 1940 movie, called Boss of Bullion City.

A double bill with films of Ronald Colman and Kay Francis:

This for the 1931 movie, Trader Horn. The poster behind the people standing in the front looks quite a bit larger than a 6 sheet, too.
