U.S. (?)
"This version of the Style "C" poster was printed for special event
screenings, live events, and possibly even for military use, because of the
success of Star Wars. The poster contains the PG rating box and the credit
area has been arranged, so that the different venue information could be
added to the poster. Very few copies of this poster have been distributed
out to the general public for sale"
International
"20th Century Fox had this poster produced for international use and it was
not for release in theaters in America, however we have heard of a few
instances where an American Cinema used one. Finding an original Style C is
rare because most of the print run was unused and destroyed. There are
however, licensed reprints of this poster."

POSTER EXPERT
Just heard back from Pete Vilmur. He says:
The style Cs are definitely considered theatrical -- the reason some think
they were not is because there is no "PG" rating printed on the posters.
Granted, many of the style Cs probably were sent abroad to international
venues (I believe it was printed in late 77), but I'm sure some must have
landed in domestic theaters as well (I've never seen a photo of one at a
theater, though). As for the print count at 500, I've heard that, but
there's
no way to confirm. They are pretty scarce, though.
Yes, I've heard the b-day posters figure pegged at 500 as well, but again,
difficult to say since I've never found any hard evidence to confirm. I
will
say that the b-day poster seems to come up more often than the Style C,
though. If I had to guess, I'd say 500 on the C and 1000 on the b-day. But
that's just a guess ;)
Alas, far from a definitive answer.
Oh, well.
Craig.
