I'm sorry to say, but the below statement from swanarchives is utter nonsense. Movie posters are ALWAYS referred to the geography where they were PRINTED.
Traditionally, some countries produced their own posters and other advertising material, others did not. For the countries that did not print their own posters, the production company would either use the domestic material and send it along with the film prints, OR they would print international versions of the posters: Sometimes in english, sometimes in a foreign language. Printed in USA posters for the international market were predominantly english and spanish. Japanese export posters were in english. Heck, I have even seen east-german export posters in english. Here's an example, a japanese poster for GOKE, printed in Japan for international use: http://www.filmposter.net/en/goke-body-snatcher-from-hell-original-release-japanese-export-movie-poster/ <http://www.filmposter.net/en/goke-body-snatcher-from-hell-original-release-japanese-export-movie-poster/> It was printed in Japan, so it's a japanese poster, period. These were used in the US, but that does not make this a US poster. Canada always imported at least 99% of their movie posters, so the chance that the PHANTOM OF PARADISE was indeed printed in Canada is about 1%. I'll say this is a US International poster.
