i have often pointed out to ebay sellers, via the Question to
seller area, that their posters are repros and should be listed as
such, and also in the appropriate sub category.

I'm just wondering if any of you know this. If there were say 2,000 movie
theatres in the world at the time of the printing a movie poster, how many
copies would they make? I know each theatre would display multiple copies of
each title. Also, since there were only a few hundred Cinerama movie
I think the answer to this question will depend upon the movie in
question. Clearly a lot more movie posters were printed for The Ten
Commandments for instance than the Last Days of Pompeii. FRANC

I don't know the answers, but I have done tons of color printing, and once
you got the separations prepared, it made little difference (other than
paper cost, which is pretty negligible) whether you print a few hundred or a
few thousand.
I think much more important that how many were printed is
What would be the range? 1,000 to 10,000? 10,000 to 100,000? A movie like The
Ten Commandments, which could be shown in any movie theatre in it's original
release since it was a common 35mm print, would have about how many 1-sheet
movie posters printed? On the other end would be a movie like
On a sort of related note, I remember when someone offered Fantasia
2000 Imax posters for around $50. This was before the movie opened in
my city, and I thought that these would become hard to find, so I
bought one. I incorrectly reasoned that few posters were made, since

I forget where, but years ago I saw some old order forms. I didn't pay much
attention to them, but I seem to remember there being something like 5,000 one
sheets ordered for an average title (60's, I think). Which sounds about
right...
It's probably not too much more nowadays either. If you

Dear Fellow MOPOers,
This week we have an exceptional lineup of rare vintage posters to round out a
great year for us.
With sales exceeding $7.5 million this past year in vintage movie posters, it
has been a wonderful year for us and we would like to thank our loyal buyers
and consignors!
5000.. well yes, and no
for instance, when we bought the Miramax warehouse in NYC, among the
things we got were over 20,000 Jackie Brown posters. Yes there were 7
diff styles, however that would mean that if they only did 5000 of
each, that we got more than half of the print run. So I suggest

You should do special promotions with those 5000 Smoke Signals
posters. Example: Everyone who wins at least one Star Wars poster
gets a free Smoke Signals poster.
Speaking of Smoke Signals, I think that's one of the few films where

Hey Rich:

Hey, John, I agree that AT LEAST she posted the comments. However,
she sent me an email telling me how she was handling it and my
response was to question why she would not simply cancel the auction
and contact all bidders. Then go forward with her new intelligence
and list the poster
Yes, its funny how the Portal Press logo often seems to be conveniently torn
away when similar posters are listed. It's a good thing that no one got burnt
in the end and hopefully the seller won't list the poster again.

I see that someone else is selling 27X40 repros of this poster. The
