Rare Japanese Jaws
« on: August 09, 2020, 06:39:48 PM »
Just in time for Sharkweek, a few rare Japanese Advance Jaws pieces.
when Jaws was released in Japan in December of 75, it only played at 3 theaters before expanding to a roadshow release in 76.
Both of these posters are pre-76, advertising the film before it went on the roadshow.

B3 Advance with the advance tickets on sale now text, this would have only been used prior to the December 13 release date, taken down afterwards for:
B3 Advance showing the 3 theaters and advertising the 3-weeks only.
Pressbook/Speed - double-sided.

B3 Advance $125
B3 Limited Release $90
Pressbook $50

Or get all three for $220 including postage in the US

No dealers please

I would imagine the B0 would be from pre-76 also, possibly even for the premiere on December 6, before it went into release the following week.

Thanks.  I've only ever seen 2 examples so I figured they were printed for something special.  thumbsup.gif
