Famous provenance AND proximity, in that if these posters were offered in an auction that had not already attracted the attention of people with very, very deep pockets they would not have fetched these prices.
I mean what's a measly seven grand for a Seven Year Itch insert when you're already throwing MILLIONS at THE dress from THE scene in the movie?

As for the small number of movie posters that were included in this auction, they did incredibly well, here are some examples, all of these are only hammer prices before buyers commission is added: VIRGIN QUEEN 3 SHEET 1900 SEVEN YEAR ITCH INSERT 7000 THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS INSERT 7000 THE EGYPTIAN THREE SHEET 2000 DESIREE SIX SHEET 3250 This is a case where this famous provenance radically affected the poster prices.
