The local country cinema here gave away a stockpile of posters to a local charity to sell and use as a donation.
Anyway he had rolls (20-30) of each title. I think there's three screens at this cinema. And I've never seen more than three actual posters displayed (different titles) at one time.

Why would each theater only get two or three posters?
I am friends with the owner of one of Atlanta's last remaining independent theaters (Plaza), they only have two screens but whenever they show a film they get up to a complete tube of posters and usually at least 20 of any title.

I'm sure that's true but another dealer on this forum specifically told me that some studios are extremely strict and will only send two posters per theater to deter "poster profiteering." Somebody else on this forum (maybe Archie Leach?) said that Miramax was pretty tight with posters as well.

When I got a bulk lot from the local cinema he made me promise not to put on eBay, as he was warned about it and he could get into trouble.

I classify this in the OMGLOLWTF category:

The Teaser has sold for $235.00
The BKTF2 has sold for $300.00
The BKTF3 has sold for $180.00

So apparently one just needs to find the high-water mark selling point for a poster and profit ensues... from the n00bs. $:-\$

Fantastic poster. Little pricey, though....

Neat. Little pricey is right but probably not *that* far off. If I had it, I'd do it willingly.

Wow, this looks to be some really poorly printed repro. Even the added "distressing" job looks over done.

It's doing pretty good for a repro...up to 400 buckeroos!

Looks like Lyn asked him up front about authenticity and it seems Sparky is sticking to his 'original' claim.
Ahh well... live and learn, eh?

Since when does lobby card stock curl, crimp (and look) like an 8x11 piece of paper?

$405... and (possibly) counting.. down the drain.

You should ask Grey... I'm sure he could pass word to the new owner.
