Ooops, accidentally hit send before I was finished....
I do not know if I would hold a lot of stock to that story. I do know
that the theatres pay for the one-sheets from the studios. A one-sheet
will cost the theatre $30. I'm not sure how much the banners cost.
I'll try to find out. The one-sheets and banners become property of the
theatre then. My husband's friend does the invoices for the theatre where
they work. My husband works in the booth. He splices the incoming
films together, most come in 4 pieces. Titanic came in 7 pieces!
Some studios will send a couple dozen one-sheets to the theatres.
When they do that, they send them all rolled together in one box. That
usually will damage them somewhat.
At the theatre where my husband works, they have a sign up sheet. The
managers get to sign up for the extra one-sheets or banners. They are not
allowed to take all of the one-sheets. They are also not allowed to take
the banners that the theatre intends on displaying. They had Disney's
Haunted Mansion in storage and had never displayed it for almost a year before
he brought it home. This is how we acquire the one-sheets and banners that
I sell.
The managers are allowed to take the one-sheets after they are displayed
too. The theatre will usually display 2 one-sheets of the same
title. One is displayed in the theatre and one is displayed outside.
I do have a few "liberated" one-sheets on auction at
MoviePosterBid for some not yet released movies. These auctions will be
ending in about 36 hours. The auctions are for: The Pink Panther, The
Aviator, and Bewitched. I also have the new one-sheet for Batman
Begins, which will be on the big screen June 17th.
