Looks like Premiere Props is having another auction this weekend.
It's called Hollywood Auction Extravaganza XIII

So it seems they are carrying on with business.

Dan thanks for your response. I have also heard from Todd
privately. After hearing these responses, I would say that clearly
neither you or Todd is the problem here. Both you & Todd have
always been first class guys. The problem falls to Premier Props.
My only hope is that based upon your connections one of you can let
us consigners know when we can actually expect payment? Secondly,
I don't know if Premier Props intend to have future poster
auctions, but I would hate to see others get stuck like this. Jim

My sincere and heartfelt apologies to any and all who very kindly
participated as sellers or buyers in what is clearly turning into
the worst-realized movie poster auction in history, which
unfortunately for me bears my name as curator and cataloger. For
what it's worth, I too suffer financially with all the other
consignors in that not only have I not been paid for my sales (for
which Premiere was likely paid 3 months ago)but worse still, I
worked over 2 months on speculation against a percentage of the
hammer prices, and have yet to see that as well. In comparison,
while I was putting the auction together, I also consigned some of
my own things to Profiles in History, whose auction was a full
month after Premiere, and I was paid for those sales almost 2
months ago. As for promotion and catalogs, I made as many linked
highlight announcements on MOPO that I felt wouldn't irritate all
of you, as there is already so much of that filling up MOPO each
day. I gave the owners of Premiere a copy of Classic Images LONG
before the auction for him to run an ad, and he waited til last
second, as they also did with the catalog text I gave them, for
whatever reason they couldn't get the catalog printed until 3 days
before the auction. When they asked me in last fall to mount their
first-ever full-auction day of movie posters (they have years of
experience with props and costumes) they seemed like nice, sincere,
and at least reasonably professional people, but that is now
proving to not be the case, so all I can do is apologize to those
who joined Todd Spoor and me in trying out this (failed)
experiment. Your (friend?) in the hobby for over 40 years, Daniel
