Spring Breakers posters for sale on Amazon

[Dread_Pirate_Mel]

OK somebody tells that "a friend who worked on the campaign for the film" said this was an "accidental print" and "all copies were destroyed besides a handful":



You can buy it here but who knows if it's original:

That's a pretty cool one there, Mel.    The one on Amazon is probably a fake, as it's described as 27"x42" and they have the "Wish you were Here" version, also at that size, which the real one is not.

The Spring Breakers "Wish you were Here" one sheet may also be some kind of "accidental" print, as I've only seen about a handful of them.  It is kinda neat how there is cool artwork on the posters, and the fact that there are not many of them.

Actually a member wrote me and said he had ordered that version, so we shall see.  The seller is "Spring Breakers LLC," which apparently is the official producer of the movie.  See text at bottom here:

The "Wish You Were Here" was displayed at the Georgetown Lowes theater, so I know it's for realsies.

Cool. 

Despite the Spring Breakers LLC dealio, I think it's probably a commercial print, kinda like them selling t-shirts and stuff, also.

Well I know this is shocking and revolutionary but I simply - gasp - asked the seller whether it was a 27x40 DS. 

Some of the smaller studios are selling official posters, like Drafthouse Films:

Yeah, contacting the seller is usually better than just pondering on the issue.   

Interesting that studios sell original theater releases.  Learn something new every day.

That issue has been debated occasionally.  Most likely selling posters would not be sufficiently profitable.  The studios also would have to negotiate with the actors shown and identified on the posters if they sold them for profit.

Did the seller reply to your question about if the posters are 27 x 40 and DS?

I like these unused concepts for the film by Akiko Stehrenberger (artist behind the Funny Games and Kiss of the Damned one sheets):

And this one (not sure on the designer):

Mel's question:  "Is this an official 27x40 double-sided poster?"

Spring Breakers LLC answer:  "Yes, this an official 27x40 poster on behalf of Spring Breakers LLC and A24 Films. Thanks!"


Those first two in the link you mentioned are pretty darn cool.  I checked out the A24Films site, and saw the "packing list" poster for sale: a24films.bigcartel.com/product/spring-breakers-packing-list-poster  The description says it comes with a certificate of authenticity.  I'm pretty sure what Spring Breakers LLC and A24Films mean when they say "authentic" is that they are licensed commercial posters, not original theatrical releases.  Even if they're not originals theatrical releases, they still have cool concepts and art.

The Key art looks more of a review style once seeing the above with the textual elements. (The end Quotes for Mark Olsen wouldn't pass) 

And if it is official review style how much was in the run?

[MoviePosterBid.com]

it would be my opinion that these posters are as ugly as sh*t and I have no clue why you would want any of them

No clue eh? 

[Dread_Pirate_Mel]

Ok, so I just ordered both of these.  The seller claims they are "official posters." If they turn out to be cheapy posters, not the end of the world.

Thanks Neo! I hadn't seen that store before. They have some one sheets up for 'Under the Skin' now too (no idea on if they're single sided reprints though).

Mel, thanks for taking the plunge with ordering those 2...curious to see what you get delivered! Hopefully they look nice. Would you mind posting back with findings please? I wouldn't mind a Wish You Were Here style for cheap.

Attention horny bastards of APF:

Yes, these appear to be legit. The "Wish You Were Here" is double-sided.  Although the smallest fonts are not razor-sharp, these appear to be the real deal.  You can get them here:

http://www.amazon.com/Spring-Breakers-Piano-Poster-Exclusive/dp/B00JREKYNS/

http://www.amazon.com/Spring-Breakers-Wish-Were-Poster/dp/B00JRDUVZ0/

The shipping is quite incompetent, so expect some dings.

[Dread_Pirate_Mel]

I asked the mods to move all these posts to the "For Sale" thread, since these are not "Unused Concept" posters

[CSM]

Here's an idea horny APF bastards - get real girlfriends

[erik1925]

Gives new meaning to the old song, "Paper Doll."

Careful.....Real girlfriends talk back.

Wow.  For real for real?  A guy actually sent me about a dozen emails asking me to sell my "wish you were here" one sheet, at a pretty darn high price.  That's part of the fun with originals, as sometimes it's difficult to know if "these are difficult to find in any condition!  A long time can go by..."
