 Yeah, no one is going to pay that price when it normally sells for 15 to 20

Re: [MOPO] THIS IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS POST EVER>>>>>Re: [MOPO] FA: What can I can invest in that has not gone sky high in recent years?

[Roland Lataille]

 Back in the 1980's Action comic number 1 was what $10,000? Now it's 
$3,000,000. 
Bought a bunch of 3-D comics for $10 a year ago on eBay. All in plastic bags 
and look like they were never read. One of them was Space Vixens which sold for 
over $1,000 on eBay and Heritage recently. 
You never know.

 Well..as a collector, I couldn't be happier that prices have stalled out. In 
50 years I have never bought a poster as an investment, unless I found an 
incredible deal that could help me roll it over into something I wanted. I'd be 
thrilled if the bottom fell completely out of the market. With my finances and 
collecting field I can only afford to buy a couple of posters a year--if prices 
dumped further I'd be all over it. I've thoroughly enjoyed selling off my other 
collectibles that did jump way up in value and using that money to buy movie 
posters. If posters are an investment to you...guess you shoulda bought Apple 
at $35 and Amazon at $76 instead of Maltese Falcon at $67,000. oops. I did both

  of all the ridiculous posts I see people make about collectibles in general, 
and movie posters in particular, this one was an absolute laugh. 
  Pay attention folks: as far as 'investments' go, movie posters has, sadly, 
shown itself to be among the least best candidates for a place to invest money 
and after the author of this post says 
  "..what is something I can invest in that has not gone sky high in recent 
years?". Can I self-servingly suggest vintage movie paper?" 
  the author follows it with "..it is 100% true that a LOT of vintage movie 
posters sell for the same or similar prices that they did 20 or more years ago, 
including both great ones and lesser ones!" 
  and "..most are at huge discounts to prices of the same or similar items many 
years ago!"
 
 does the author not understand that these statements are the opposite of 
"posters are a good investment" 
  listen, I'm in this business and have been for a very long time, and I would 
love for my Raymond Chandler collection, or my German posters for Fritz Lang 
films or for gosh sakes my many thousands of gambling themed movie posters & 
lobby cards to be worth an investment, but they aren't. I think I'll be lucky 
to be able to get anything close to my money back, should I ever be selling 
these holdings (likely I'll never get there, seeing as I have 300,000 other 
posters to sell first as well as a couple hundred thousand non poster items 
from comics to art to any kind of paper you can imagine). (note: 50s horror & 
sci-fi has topped out, as has, apparently, Universal horror)
  
  Sure, if you only have Star Wars posters, or a very narrow title range of 
1970s-2000's posters, there is some investment value. But as a general rule, 
poster values are in the negative, not the positive. 
  Forbidden Planet was a keystone title in posters for decades, but it hasn't 
really increased in value in any fashion at all, and if the one I sold in 2005 
for $8500 is only worth $8500 today, that is not an investment, that is a 
negative money play, as that $8500, even in just a 2% bank account would be 
over $13,000 today. Any comic book I could have bought in 2005 for $8500 - and 
I mean ANY - would be worth at least twice that and more likely is a $20-50k 
item today. If you bought an $8500 copy of Amazing Fantasy 15 in 2005, it is 
likely $100k today.maybe more come to think of it.
  
  I wish all the way down to my toes that posters were a good investment, but 
unless you buy them at low wholesale rates, like dealers do, there is literally 
no-investment and I think that every dealer, including the one who posted that 
ridiculous email, knows the truth of this.

Spanish, and German!

The Italian version starred Franco Corsaro and Luisa Caselotti and was called 
"Il Grande Sentiero". The French version starred Gaston Glass and Jeanne 
Helbling and was called "La Piste des Geants". The Spanish version starred 
George J. Lewis and Carmen Guerrero and was called "La Gran Jornada". The 
German version starred Theo Shall and Marion Lessing and was called "Die Grosse 
Fahrt".

They are exactly the same movies, except for the language difference and the 
different cast (this is very similar to the 1931 U.S. and Mexican versions of 
"Dracula"), except imagine the difficulty of shooting five different versions 
all at one time, likely using the same sets!

I did not know any of this either, until I was consigned this great still, 
which is at auction at 
http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail_uid1=6261604

And I bet they won't be releasing another movie called "Die Grosse Fahrt" 
anytime soon!

Wow…that eBay link was an eye opener. 

  

I have boxes and boxes of VHS tapes in storage including my own collection as 
well as those from my parent’s estate. I had considered trying to sell them but 
thought it wouldn’t be worth the effort, with eBay fees and shipping costs 
through the roof.  I browsed VHS collectors groups on Facebook and Reddit and 
thought about just giving them away rather than sending them to the landfill. 
Guess it’s time to dig a little deeper into those boxes and take an inventory. 

  

And I would like to know more about slabbing a VHS tape. I recall comics being 
“slabbed,” and for a while there was interest in doing this to lobby cards. 
Anyone have any details to share?

in value due to third-party slabbing and grading, as you mention, which has led 
to tremendous competition. Competition to complete runs in VF condition as with 
what has happened in coins, ball cards, and especially comics. And I suggest 
the staggering prices in comic art are an off-shoot of the comic book 
explosion. Yet, when an attempt was made to slab lobbies, MWC, which look 
fabulous, it was generally pooh-poohed by the hobby.I fear that posters may 
never explode as they are and never have been a revered part of one's childhood 
like so many other collectibles are as they were made to be collected. Posters 
were not. One just has to love having them and owning them, regardless of the 
investment value. Why I always say, buy what you love; then if you sell for a 
loss, you have had the pride of owning it. I have always worked to get the

My name is Fontaine Ayala.  Some of you might remember me – I did linenbacking

Restoration with my dad, Tom Hammond. 

 

I took some time off from the poster world to concentrate on my other business, 
architectural renderings, but I have discovered that I truly miss working on 
posters.  I miss the physicality of the work and the satisfaction of bringing 
something back to life.  I also miss all of the relationships I built on an 
international scale.  I worked for some pretty awesome people in this 
business!!!

 

If anyone is interested in having some work done, I’m going to start off with 
my old prices - $75 for mounting (this includes cleaning/stain removal) and 
$25/hr for tape removal and in-painting.  Unfortunately, I do not have any 
before and after pics since my old computer crashed, but I can supply you with 
references if necessary.  I believe in high quality work done at a fair price 
in a timely turnaround.  I am almost always available and return my voicemails 
quickly.

 

If you would like to try me out, we can work out some kind of discount for your 
first order.  Feel free to contact me directly at fonta...@fontainebydesign.com 
or 813.389.9541.  I look forward to working with you!

An unopened copy of Nintendo’sSuper Mario 64 has sold at auction for $1.56

Heritage Auctions in Dallas saidthat the 1996 game sold Sunday, breaking its 
previous record price for the saleof a single video game.  Two days prior, The 
Legend of Zelda sold for 870,000.
 
  
 
  
 
Now that I have been working for an auction house for 8 years, I always admire 
collectors and the diversity  it can represent:  Historic letters by the 
founding fathers,  rare first editionbooks,  Coca-Cola,  baseball cards,  NASA 
ephemera, photography,Hollywood... all a reflection of America (and also the 
worlds) past.  So much a reflection of the times, footnotes that reflectmost of 
the time, genius, artistry……greatness.  And these collectors areactually 
curators of history keeping their possessions with great care to passonto 
another generation who with education and passion will continue carryingthe

Re: [MOPO] AW: [MOPO] 1.56 Million

 The version that sold for 1.56 million was only released for one month in 1987 
and is very rare.

Re: [MOPO] Cinerama Dome to close permanently

on TCM.. I have a customer, Tom March from Canada, that is part of a HWWW

A lot of it out in Convict Lake and Lone Pine.  Here is the youtube video of

When I was a kid growing up in the 1960's, going to the Dome to see a movie was 
an event.  You got dressed up and you behaved yourself, unlike the local 
theater where you could get up and smack your brother or your friend in the 
head when they were talking too loud!!  It was a treat and it cost a bit more 
than going to your local neighborhood theater.  We never got concessions 
because the cost of getting into the theater pretty much tapped your parents 
out.  Since we were a large family, we mostly went to drive -in's where the 
entrance fee was by the carload and there was always a playground up front, 
under the screen, that you could play on until the movie started.  I miss the 
drive - in's too!!  By the time my children were born, the drive - in's were 
pretty much closed all over Los Angeles and surrounding areas.  It was such a 
great venue for a family outing or for date night!!

While I moved out of Los Angeles 5 years ago, I still go down every year to see 
friends and family (with the exception of last summer because of Covid).  I 
would pass the Dome as I traveled down Vine Street to my daughter apartment, 
never imagining one day it would be closed and possibly gone forever.  I do 
hope some corporate entity comes in and buys it and does something wonderful 
with it.  It would be a great place to not only show new films, but old films 
and perhaps a film history museum and learning facility.

I think there is one simple reason: With shops, bars, and restaurants closed in 
wide parts of the world and no holiday trips in sight either, many people have 
a lot of extra cash to spend. Many of them are working from their home office 
right now, and no commuting means more extra time to spend. And with the kids 
going on your nerve all day long, online shopping might deliver a much needed 
self-gratification. Well, that was three simple reasons...
Plus, many new collectors may have the false impression that buying at auction 
sort of guarantees a 'fair market price'. In cases like a rare and desirable 
Tarantino poster, this might even be true. If you are bidding against another 
newbie, it's not. Last not least, people are lazy. Ooops, that five simple 
reasons now.

 Having lived alone, for the most part, for the last 12 years, I have been 
attempting to declutter my house and organize my hobbies. As I approach seven

passions, I am getting rid of things. I am selling or keeping stuff that is 
worth more than a pittance. I have thrown away some things and am giving away 
much of the rest. (Charities that pick up from your front porch every month are 
wonderful.)

Although I haven’t researched it yet, I don’t think movie advertising sheets 
(not press books, which are worth something sometimes), and video posters (back 
when we had video movie rental stores) are worth keeping. There are a few 
exceptions for posters from video rental stores for  titles that may not have 
received wide release. 

I worked in a movie theater in the 1970s and have boxes of Advertising mats. 
For those who don’t know, these are sheets with printed ads, always in 
black-and-white in my town, which the manager painstakingly cut and pasted to 
deliver to the local newspaper to be printed for that week‘s offering. The 
theaters received 10 to 20 large sheets with one main style ad and a few 
variations.  I’ve already pitched Into the trash the ad mats for the double 
feature bad news bears and Little Darlings. But what about movies, big movies 
like Close Encounters, Saturday night fever, and Taxi Driver. People collect 
posters, press books, and stills, but I don’t think there is a market for these 
advertising mats/sheets. But I want to know what you guys think. And I mean 
guys in the all-inclusive sense.

Same thing with a Posters for the video store release back when that was a 
thing. On some you have to look closely to see that it is a video Poster rather 
than the one in the theater. Dead Calm was one example I stumbled on today in 
my garage. Should I hold on to something like that if it is in excellent 
condition? Or should I throw it away or put in the recycling been? I’ve already 
decided that if the video release poster is not in near mint condition, I will 
recycle or pitch. 

Meanwhile it’s pouring down rain here in Daytona Beach, Florida. I breathlessly 
await your opinions so that I can continue with my quest. It is much cooler in 
my garage when it rains. What is your favorite color? #HolyGrail
Thanks in advance.

Re: [MOPO] Mystery email about alleged destruction of memorabilia.

[Roland Lataille]

 I use to get emails many years ago from someone claiming to be from the 
International Film Archives. Below is an example. 


Two (2) films in the works, at International Film Archives [IFA], are CIRCUS 
WORLD and THE
GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD.

First: Circus World:
If you are familiar with the MGM soundtrack LP recording, or the reel to reel 
of the same, the LP
was pressed wrong sided (Side One should be Side Two and Side Two should be 
Side One).
As for the Cinerama film Overture as premiered in 1964 reserved seat locations 
and debuted on LD
(LaserDisc) - the Overture is not the choral Circus World theme. The Overture 
is found on the LP
and reel to reel as "In Good Old Vienna". The mix is the same with the 
expection of the first
segment being in two-channel stereo and the pickup of the harps coming in at 
6-channel stereo to
finish the composition. During this section, the house lights are slowly 
dimmed, the Cinerama log
is projected with a quick circus version of the Trapese Waltz, both fade and 
the wind effect
begins the main credits.
On the Entr'acte opening for Act Two, the choral Circus World theme is used.
On the Epilogue [Exit Music] the full 6-channel harp to finish of "In Old 
Vienna" is used.
Now that's the changes to the correct Roadshow cut.
Unfortunately, with rushed for delivery to playdate time, the labs jumped the 
choral theme for all
of the three (3) above positions.

Second: The Greatest Story Ever Told
In the works for presentation on DVD, according to the April 1964 initial 
premiere cut,
the full "Meditations - Jesus of Nazareth" opening prologue and not the "Come 
Unto Me" overlay mix
to "Jesus of Nazareth"," the Newman score to the "Resurrection of Lazarus" 
sequence, the "Via
Delorosa" (Road of Sorrows [Carrying of the Cross]) and the "Resurrection and 
Ascension." This
eliminates the recomposed "The Robe-Crucifixion" music (wonderful as it is), 
the traditional
Handel "Halleujah Chorus" (beautiful as it is) for the Resurrection sequences, 
and the
appropriately sorrow laden "Requiem" of Verdi, from the washing of hands by 
Pontius Pilate and
voice over of the "Credo (Suffered Under Pontius Pilate)."

Roland,
It is well noted, specifically in the Main Titles, that THE GREATEST STORY EVER 
TOLD, is not an
entertainment, but a series of unfolding personal meditations, the richness of 
the human heart
(George Stevens intention) and, thus (if you could not read the video transfer 
titles), they are
hereby presented for you:

PROGRAMME

PROLOGUE

MEDITATIONS
JESUS OF NAZARETH

ACT I
THE PROPHECY
A VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS
COME UNTO ME
THE GREAT JOURNEY
A TIME OF WONDERS

INTERMISSION

ACT II
A NEW COMMANDMENT
THE HOUR HAS COME     
THE TRIUMPH OF THE SPIRIT

In addition (the extras on DVD):

the documents (in full) for East and West Coast premieres (you have the covers 
on these posted),
the full souvenir program,
176 8x10 b/w stills issued by United Artists,
complete production and costume sketches,
the three folder 11x14 color scenes available at theatre (totalling 36).
the Saturday Evening Post (October 19, 1963) article and pictures,
the Life magazine (March 27, 1964) presentation and pics,
the Arizona Highways (January 1965) article and photos,
the reviews sheet issued by United Artists (you have posted these),
the 16mm 15 February 1965 premiere footage (you can see me in that - smiles),
the full run of New York Times advertisments from October 1964 to February 1965,
the neve"The Greatest Story Ever Told" under the master film director George 
Stevens!"
the standard Ultra Panavison edition,
the 141 minute version,
the HBO presentation (Judas Iscariot suicide) of December 1980,
the initial CBS/Fox video "error" release of April 1964 (not corrected until 
1990 VHS),
&
the isolated music soundtrack,
including unreleased music tracks cataloged USX-5120 (United Artists Music) 
mastered
at 250 copies.

So there is the scope of the project to be presented in a deluxe box edition
that is white engraved vellum and depicting the initial Roadshow image.

Attached for your website:
The 70mm/6-channel extract of the Main Title from CIRCUS WORLD (the special 
print archived for
Cinema Centre on June 24, 1964.
The actual Main Title from THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD as it was exhibited 
(note the scroll
background) not the orange over saturation on the VHS/DVD Special Editions of 
2001.

In closing,

Yes, I know if have yet send out the CinemaScope tracks as promised.

In addition, be safe and continue your reality on Cinerama exhibitions.

Love what you do very much.

Cinema Centre/IFA

Re: [MOPO] Future of movie theaters?

[Roland Lataille]

 I never went to movie theatres until I retired late last year and moved to 
Florida. The AMC multiplex is only ten miles away. Signed up for their A-List 
and was seeing three movies a week for $24 a month or $2 for each movie until 
they closed for the Coronavirus.

 Hi all,
I did a piece of ‘light research’ on UK movie attendance last year (link below) 
and it appeared that even against the likes of Netflix, cinema / movie theatre 
attendance had a place in modern society, with even a hint of modest growth.
https://artofthemovies.co.uk/blogs/original-movie-posters/uk-cinema-attendance-1935-2018
While the likes of the multiplex chains will probably weather the current 
storm, the smaller independent single screen cinemas (we have a lovely restored 
Art Deco one near us) are unlikely too and that is a real shame. They bring a 
really special experience (a cheese board and a nice glass of Rioja with your 
movie sir?).
I also think it is likely to lead to a long term behaviour shift, with even 
fewer people visiting the movies once this is all over. (As they will have got 
even more used to family movie nights at home.) 
It hit home for me when this weekend I saw ‘The Invisible Man’ (the 2020 
Elisabeth Moss version) for rent at £15.99 on Amazon Video. It was still 
playing in UK cinemas a week or two back when the virus hit...
Keep safe everyone.
Adam.

In the last couple of years it has been a struggle for theaters, as the studios 
are wanting to go on demand or a short window for the release of the film and 
then on demand.  The theaters he worked for would not book a film if the on 
demand was 30 days or less from the theatrical release.  Disney of course is 
pushing this concept, along with others.  
Some consequences of the shut down, release dates have been pushed back for 
months and sometimes nearly a year.  The studios are losing a revenue stream, 
so some productions are postponed, and I am sure many lesser films will just be 
cancelled, or not ever released theatrically.  I fell like this will be a good 
opportunity to knock out theaters and get the full cut through streaming and on 
demand. 
I am sure they understand the business a lot better than I do, and in the age 
when people will watch a movie on a phone, but I think it is short sided to not 
get another avenue of revenue (theatrically), and just go for on demand, dvd, 
etc.
I hope I am wrong. Any other thoughts on the issue.  Tony

Re: [MOPO] Heritage Signature auction

[Roland Lataille]

 I have one of these 2001 lenticulars, almost had two. Bought one from the UK 
and between the UK and the US someone opened the box and took it. I did not pay 
much for it as it had a crack in it so not much of value anyhow. 
Hey, how come the word lenticular comes up in spell checker as not valid?

In fact, the prices I saw were in what I would consider my acceptable range. 
Had I bid I know I would have paid more than I really wanted to spend. 

Though I don't have the posters I still have the cash and perhaps using these

If it was 1955, you were gobsmacked.  In some ways it is more immersive than

my opinion.  If you’re not there, you are not getting the surround, peripheral 
experience.  Even the single-lens Cinerama films, which were 70mm slightly 
anamorphic have this property.
But if you are in those sweet seats, it is very kinetic.  Can even be a little 
disorienting.
But it is also primitive in some respects.
It was all very HI FI at one time.
Similar multi-panel films were used at world’s fairs, exhibitions, etc.
Worth seeing, if you can ever be in the right place at the right time.
I saw a screening of HOW THE WEST WAS WON about five or six years ago at the 
Pacific Cinerama Dome in Los Angeles.  A lot of fun.  A gathering of the 
faithful.  But we were a little off to the right.  OK, but not really in the

In 1999, two friends went into a Nebraska antique shop and found a massive 
collection of letterpress blocks and plates that were used to make 
advertisements for movies in newspapers. They bought the whole shebang for 
$2000 and have spent the last 17 years cataloging and cleaning the 60,000

film industry from the silent era to 1984, was recently appraised at ~$10 
million and is available for acquisition.

Blade Runner 2049 (twice)
Wonder Woman (twice)
SW:TLJ (this week, partly spoiled after I unwisely skimmed a negative user

Murder on the Orient Express
Close Encounters 40th
Justice League

I also feel obligated to support historical films in theaters:

Dunkirk
Darkest Hour (future)
The Post (future)

The gameplan was to watch lotsa movies on pretty-cheap streaming services like 
Netflix/HBO/etc. but so far I've only watched a grand total of two (Wizard of

Re: [MOPO] How the West Won and Circus World - I don't know what you call these!

[Roland Lataille]

I have seen movie posters, lobby cards, programs, ticket flyers, postcards, 
etc. that you would find at a movie theatre to promote a movie but, this is the 
first time I have seen these (see links below) for any movie title. What are 
are they?. I guess you would fold them and  put them out at maybe the candy 
counter or somewhere at the theatre.

Re: [MOPO] Ice Station Zebra lenticular poster repairable?

[Roland Lataille]

Received the package in the mail yesterday. But, opened it and there was 
nothing inside other than an empty plastic sleeve and a piece of cardboard. The 
seller wrote on the customs sticker Large 3D poster which probably is why it 
was stolen.

I have a question for all you dealers and collectors here.  I've been
going through my various storage areas, pulling out some material
on films I worked on and I've come across a number of press kits.
Sophie's Choice, Frances, American Graffiti, Eddie Macon's
Run, The Pirates of Penzance, and a number of others.  Mostly
late '70s and early '80s titles.  These are complete press kits, with
photos, in the studio folder (a few of them have art on the folder,
most just the studio logo and the title of the film in whatever the
keyart of the title treatment is).

There seem to be collectors for everything under the sun but... Are
there collectors for these? Do they have much in the way of value?

Thanks,

Re: [MOPO] It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World Cinerama roadshow movie poster

[Roland Lataille]

I have this movie poster for It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World with an odd size 
72 by 48. I always wondered where they might have put this in a movie theatre. 
Recently I found this picture that showed a similar poster used for a contest 
to win tickets to the movie. I thought it was the same poster but comparing it 
to mine I see the text has been shifted and/or changed. See the comparison here 
- http://cineramahistory.com/iawiposter.htm . Mine also has dividing lines 
between the text. Maybe mine was used as a prototype and changed after it was 
reviewed and finally printed for movie theatres? The dividing lines are not 
needed and I like the layout of text better of the one at the movie theatre.

I agree - it is getting very old.  

If you feel Bruce or anyone else conducts business unfairly and you would like 
to warn the public at large then list your grievances (with proof).  Weeding 
out unscrupulous operators would be a public service. 

However the constant sniping comes off as petty.

For my part - I've dealt with Bruce  eMoviePoster several times and they have 
never been anything but professional.

auction were clearly spelled out.  If Filip, a.k.a. filip de volder and

on this lot closed at $123.00.  In my view, it's obvious that a few bidders

with or without Filip's discouragement. -d.

Maybe, Filip, this lot is not right for you.
 
But, I am sure that there is someone out there willing to pay for the 
excitement of finding out what the other 39 titles are.
 
Personally, I would expect them to be folded french one-panels from '68 - '93.  
Nothing more or less.
 
It would be a very interesting question to determine if a collection of 45 misc 
French one-panels from '68 - '93 sells for MORE, LESS or the SAME depending of 
if they are explicitly listed.  
 
However, I suspect the answer might be different if the bidders knew if the 6 
items pictured were randomly selected from the pile, or if they were the 6 best.
 
Personally, I would not be surprised if this lot sold for as much or even more 
that this lot would sell if the titles were enumerated!  And if that is the 
case, there is certainly no motivation for the auction house to take the time 
to list them.

I am going to start a three week series of Face/Offs, 
choosing the Sexiest pre-1960 actress ever!

Here's how it will 
work:
There will be 16 to start. The first 8 days they will go against each 
other. The next four days the winners of the first 8 will go against each 
other. 
Then the next two days the winners of those four will go against each other. 
and 
then the two last winners will have a final Face/Off!

Now here are the 
rules:
1) They must be incredibly sexy (so I don't think great actresses like 
Bette Davis or Barbara Stanwyck or Joan Crawford qualify, but I am open to 
opposing viewpoints!)
2) They must be talented actresses who had substantial 
careers (so I don't think super-sexy women like Jayne Mansfield or Gina 
Lollabrigida qualify, but I am open to opposing viewpoints!)
3) They must 
have had a substantial portion of their career before 1960, and as an adult, so 
Natalie Wood, Ann-Margret, and tons of others don't qualify.

Here is a 
preliminary list (in no particular order):
Marilyn Monroe
Sofia 
Loren
Brigitte Bardot
Jean Harlow
Catherine Deneuve
Grace 
Kelly
Audrey Hepburn
Kim Novak
Louise Brooks
Elizabeth Taylor
Ava 
Gardner
Ingrid Bergman
Lana Turner
Veronica Lake
Gene 
Tierney
Rita Hayworth
Hedy Lamarr
Diana Dors

HERE IS WHAT I AM ASKING OF YOU!
1) Who 
deserves to be on the above list, but isn't?
2) Who is on the above list, but 
doesn't deserve to be?
3) What is the sexiest single image you have ever seen 
of any or all of the above (or your alternate choices)? I will use the best of 
them to create the Face/Off images!

I will be fascinated to see what you 
great minds come up with. If this goes well, I will follow it with a 
post-1960 
version.

I wonder which running length they are restoring it to?
when they went to do a digital transfer of the roadshow version
used for the Laser Disk (and VHS) - the rejuv process had
damaged it - so the DVD is the longest general release version -
but shorter than the roadshow.

did they find another print, or were they able to salvage that one -
or are they not going for the full version?

except for the birthday party - which dosen't really help - the full

For Christie's to be unaware of other copies of The Outlaw is just one 
point of dispute.  Let's say you accept Christie's statement which implies 
it DID NOT KNOW about other copies as truth.  Then how you reconcile the 
portion of its statement - on its own stationary - that says the consignors 
(Robert and Patricia League) - destroyed a second copy?  I've been in press 
relations a long time.  Either you believe the entire statement, or none of 
it, or dismiss everything as hype.  If you believe just part of it, it means 
you think some of it is truth and the rest is a lie.  Either way, this 
compromises Christie's reputation.  I agree with Adrian - I KNOW Christie's 
was aware of additional copies.  That's why the story was printed in the 
media.  The best way to understand this is for you, as a dealer, to put 
yourself in Christie's shoes, based on what you know.  Would you add in your 
official statement - a reference that an extra copy
 has been destroyed?  Putting out a press statement is very unusual in this 
case.  But as I wrote before - and as Helmut correctly points out - all of this 
could have been avoided if Christie's simply said this poster was the first 
ever brought to auction - instead of this poster is the only copy in 
existence. - d.

PLEASE LET ME STATE THAT I HAVE NO AGENDA TOWARD ANYONE.

My point is that Christies should have been fair with the Outlaw Six Sheet 
and that Christies have a few dark stories. We all know that.

As for the Six Sheet and it's subsequent stories...many American auction 
houses and dealers knew of the owners having several copies...this comes 
down to pure research. And all concerned except Christies UK knew that there 
were four copies...how could this be? Christies are supposed to research 
these things.

Any way Helmut and the rest you don't need this so let this be the end of

Disney's $200 Million Charge
'John Carter' Proves a Huge Loss
for Disney,
Spurs New Focus on Cutting Costs
By ERICA ORDEN FOR THE WALL STREET
JOURNAL

 Walt Disney
Co. expects to lose $200 million on its science-fiction epic John
Carter, the company said on Monday, citing the costly movie's weak
box-office performance.
 As a result, Disney added, its movie studio is
expected to report an operating loss of between $80 million and $120
million for its fiscal second quarter, ending March 31. Disney won't
report its earnings for the quarter until May, and rarely offers such
advance financial guidance.
 The studio recorded an operating profit of $77
million during the same quarter last year—even though that period
included another big-budget flop, Mars Needs Moms.
 John Carter, which cost more than
$250 million to make and an additional $100 million to market, has been a
box-office bomb, particularly in the U.S., where its cumulative domestic
earnings total $53.2 million during its first 10 days in theaters. The
movie has fared somewhat better abroad, grossing $130.8 million outside
the U.S. and Canada since its March 9 opening. But those results are
disappointing for a film that was one of the studio's most expensive in
years.
 It certainly didn't meet the expectations
of what I wanted or what I needed, Disney Studios Chairman Rich
Ross said in an interview last week.
 The film, about a Civil War veteran transported
to a planet populated by alien creatures called Tharks, came in third in
the weekend's box-office ticket sales results, behind rivals 21
Jump Street and Dr. Seuss' The Lorax.
 In addition to its significant expense,
John Carter suffered from an array of handicaps, including a
lack of recognizable stars—the film featured actors Taylor Kitsch and
Lynn Collins, neither of whom are household names—and a marketing
campaign that was widely considered indecipherable and visually
unappealing.
 During Disney's recent shareholders meeting,
Chief Financial Officer Jay Rasulo brushed aside an inquiry about the
movie's results, saying that it's very early to talk about the
financial impact of that film.
 Partly in response to costly projects such as
John Carter, Disney executives say they have taken a tougher
look at production budgets for its films, most notably for upcoming
release The Lone Ranger, on which the studio halted
production when its projected costs had surpassed $260 million.
 In a statement on Monday, the company emphasized
the prospects of its upcoming films. As we look forward to the
second half of the year, we are excited about the upcoming releases of
'The Avengers' and 'Brave,' which we believe have tremendous potential to
drive value for the Studio and the rest of the company.

I'm not sure you are right, Roland.  It was presented in 4K digital, for those

The resolution on 4K is simply awesome.

Re: [MOPO] OT: Disney expects $120 million operating loss due to 'John Carter.'

[Roland Lataille]

Walt was a heavy smoker. Died of cancer 12/15/66, he was 65. I just watched a 
great documentary on him last night on CNBC. His brother Roy was going to 
retire at that time too. But the family convinced him to oversee the 
construction of Walt Disney World which opened in October 1971. He did retire 
after the opening, but died two months later from a seizer on December 20, 
1971.

maybe if they focused on production quality rather than production cost -
maybe if the focus was on making good movies rather than loud flashy ones
maybe if Walt had lived just a few mor years :-(

Re: [MOPO] Sunset Blvd lobby card #2 - Swimming Pool!

I thought it was multiple dead people in the morgue talking. That would be

.and it could have been a disaster.  Sunset Boulevard originally opened 
with William Holden's corpse being wheeled through a hospital as he narrates 
how he got there: with a mortuary tag on his big toe. Preview audiences saw 
this and HOWLED with laughter.  The tone was all wrong.  The footage was 
removed and the rest is the movie history.

From one of the greatest films ever made, this lobby shows one of the best 
(and strangest) opening scenes in a movie EVER:
 
A few of the LAPD's Finest fish Joe Gillis' (Bill Holden's) body out of Norma 
Desmond's (Gloria Swanson's) swimming pool.
 
The only thing that could have beat it, in my mind, would be if they had

Re: [MOPO] LASER DISCS

I rented the Blu-ray of the Phantom and it had three versions of the movie. 
 
I have on SVHS a copy of the 202 minute laser disc Alamo. Some of the scenes 
are just extended, the birthday scene I don't think is needed.

the poor poor Phantom - the 1925 version is worth tracking down - the best
copy of it I ever saw was a Universal show-at-home 16mm. when they re-cut it 
and added
the sound bits - it may have been watchable, but that version doesn't exist
(a few of the sound bits have turned up however). sadly, what is most common
is a silent verson of the the 1929 cut and one watches it wondering why - 
except for 
the unmasking - would this movie have been so well regarded.
Musch like Metropolis - while it was never meant to be shown in its current
(98% restored) version - it was always supposed to be cut in one was or
another - but what we had in general distribution bears little in common
with the version we have know - and again, one wonders how valid the critic
opinions have been over the years - when they only had access to the 93min cut?

and while I'm ranting - I never liked John Wayne's Alamo, until I saw the 
roadshow
version on Laser - it was a darn good movie - but even the longest general 
release
version - not even close.  same with 1776, same with touch of evil - 

I wonder if the Anne Francis scenes from Funny Girl will ever turn up, might
make that one worth another look.

After reading this thread, I pulled out my copy of Chaney's PHANTOM  
OF THE OPERA, that i received as an Xmas gift, years ago. On the  
packaging, it states that the 4 disc set has both the 1929 re-release  
as well as the 1925 original release. I need to pop this into the

Although, it is, most likely, the same 1925 version that was put onto  
the later Ultimate Edition DVD.

The last I heard from Warner Brothers is that they would like to restore 
Raintree County  for a Blu-ray release but, too much money to do it and don't 
know when they would. Could be many years from now. If they asked the folks 
that are restoring digitally the 3-strip Cinerama travelouges - 
http://www.in70mm.com/news/2011/cinerama/index.htm it would not be that 
expensive. But that won't happen.

Re: [MOPO] Man Sues over cost of Movie Snacks

[Roland Lataille]

We don't even go to the movies anymore. The only reason we would go was to see 
a 3D movie which we couldn't at home at that time. Now I have a 55 inch 3D TV - 
(I got it for free, worked in retail and was one the top salesman) so, no 
reason for that anymore. In fact, the cost of a 3D Blu-ray disc is cheaper than 
for two people to see the movie. I also plan on getting a 3D 1080p front 
projector when my bulb dies on my 720p front projector (that is not 3D). But, I 
am flying to LA in September to see 60 year old Cinerama movies. I know. I'm

I learned this in econ classes:  I don't pay thirteen bucks for popcorn!

And I think that the exhibitors would sell a lot more of it if it was cheaper.

And a more equitable split between the producers and the exhibitors would allow 
them to shift the
price point on popcorn, drinks and everything to increase their volume.   The 
sweet spot, Evan, the sweet spot.

 The price of popcorn is not related to the percentage of the gate.  They 
 would charge $100 for a small popcorn if the audience would pay it.  
 Certainly you don't believe that if the studios reduced their percentage, the 
 theaters would charge less, do you??  Really??

 Yes, that's my point, Steve.  They should make something on the ticket price 
 and lower the cost of those concessions.
 I've heard exhibitors complain about it for years.  The studios are greedy on 
 this point.  Of course, they have their
 reasons but the business model for movies is out of whack in my view.

 Who can defend $13.00 popcorn-packs?  But, honestly, someone should sue the 
 producers for 
 unjust sharing of film revenues with the exhibitors.  It's been this way for 
 years.  A few percentage points
 in the exhibitors favor and they could well afford to make popcorn $2.00 a 
 box.  Or some such price.

Encore, a pay channel on DirecTV and elsewhere I suppose, is showing THE

be others as well) while airing their new documentary about Jerry Lewis.  
Whether these are precursors to Blu Rays, as these types of showing often are, 
I don't know.  The documentary is a serious love fest from the likes of Jerry 
Seinfeld, Richard Belzer, Stephen Spielberg, Carole Burnett, John Landis and 
other talking heads.  Some interesting footage including good footage of the 
legendary fawning French.

If you like Jerry Lewis we have many Jerry Lewis posters.  Just ask.

Bruce and Rich got out of comics just in time...think of the tax
hassles they would have to be putting up with now.


A rare and pristine copy of the first issue of Action Comics, famed
for the first appearance of Superman, has set a record Wednesday for
the most money paid for a single comic book: $2.16 million.


The issue, graded at 9.0, was auctioned starting Nov. 11 online at
www.comicconnect.com. The starting bid was just $1 but there was a
reserve price of $900,000. Neither the name of the buyer nor seller
was disclosed.

It's the first time a comic book has broken the $2 million barrier.
The issue was published in 1938 and cost just 10 cents.

IN PICTURES: Monitor Political Cartoons

When we broke the record in 2010 by selling the Action Comics No.
1, graded at 8.5, for $1.5 million, I truly believed that this was a
record that would stand for many years to come, said Stephen
Fishler, CEO of ComicConnect.com and Metropolis Collectibles.

The previous record set in March 2010 was followed by the sale of
another copy for $1 million. But neither of those issues was in as
good a condition as the issue that sold Wednesday, though it's
pedigree of setting records was already documented. Twice before it
set the record for the most expensive book ever, selling for $86,000
in 1992 and $150,000 in 1997.

But in 2000, it was stolen and thought lost until it was recovered
in a storage shed in California in April this year.

About 100 copies of Action Comics No. 1 are believed to be in
existence, and only a handful of those in good condition.

After it was stolen, Fishler said, collectors figured it would never
be found or, worse, would be destroyed.

Clearly, I was wrong. Not in my wildest imagination could I have
predicted that this legendary, stolen Action Comics No. 1 would be
found, graded at 9.0 and break the record a year and a half later,
he said.

3-D Starts to Fizzle, and Hollywood Frets
By BROOKS BARNES and MICHAEL CIEPLY
LOS ANGELES — Has the 3-D boom already gone bust? It’s starting to look that 
way — at least for American moviegoers — even as Hollywood prepares to release 
a glut of the gimmicky pictures.

Ripples of fear spread across Hollywood last week after “Pirates of the 
Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” which cost Walt Disney Studios an estimated $400 
million to make and market, did poor 3-D business in North America. While event 
movies have typically done 60 percent of their business in 3-D, “Stranger 
Tides” sold just 47 percent in 3-D. “The American consumer is rejecting 3-D,” 
Richard Greenfield, an analyst at the financial services company BTIG, wrote of 
the “Stranger Tides” results.

One movie does not make a trend, but the Memorial Day weekend did not give 
studio chiefs much comfort in the 3-D department. “Kung Fu Panda 2,” a 
Paramount Pictures release of a DreamWorks Animation film, sold $53.8 million 
in tickets from Thursday to Sunday, a soft total, and 3-D was 45 percent of the 
business, according to Paramount.

Consumer rebellion over high 3-D ticket prices plays a role, and the novelty of 
putting on the funny glasses is wearing off, analysts say. But there is also a 
deeper problem: 3-D has provided an enormous boost to the strongest films, 
including “Avatar” and “Alice in Wonderland,” but has actually undercut 
middling movies that are trying to milk the format for extra dollars.

“Audiences are very smart,” said Greg Foster, the president of Imax Filmed 
Entertainment. “When they smell something aspiring to be more than it is, they 
catch on very quickly.”

Muddying the picture is a contrast between the performance of 3-D movies in 
North America and overseas. If results are troubling domestically, they are the 
exact opposite internationally, where the genre is a far newer phenomenon. 
Indeed, 3-D screenings powered “Stranger Tides” to about $256 million on its 
first weekend abroad; Disney trumpeted the figure as the biggest international 
debut of all time.

With results like that at a time when movies make 70 percent of their total box 
office income outside North America, do tastes at home even matter?

After a disappointing first half of the year, Hollywood is counting on a parade 
of 3-D films to dig itself out of a hole. From May to September, the typical 
summer season, studios will unleash 16 movies in the format, more than double 
the number last year. Among the most anticipated releases are “Transformers: 
Dark of the Moon,” due from Paramount on July 1, and Part 2 of Part 7 of the 
“Harry Potter” series, arriving two weeks later from Warner Brothers.

The need is urgent. The box-office performance in the first six months of 2011 
was soft — revenue fell about 9 percent compared with last year, while 
attendance was down 10 percent — and that comes amid decay in 
home-entertainment sales. In all formats, including paid streaming and DVDs, 
home entertainment revenue fell almost 10 percent, according to the Digital 
Entertainment Group.

The first part of the year held a near collapse in video store rentals, which 
fell 36 percent to about $440 million, offsetting gains from cut-price rental 
kiosks and subscriptions. In addition, the sale of packaged discs fell about 20 
percent, to about $2.2 billion, while video-on-demand, though growing, 
delivered total sales of less than a quarter of that amount.

At the box office, animated films, which have recently been Hollywood’s most 
reliable genre, have fallen into a deep trough, as the category’s top three 
performers combined — “Rio,” from Fox; “Rango,” from Paramount; and “Hop,” from 
Universal — have had fewer ticket buyers than did “Shrek the Third,” from 
DreamWorks Animation, after its release in mid-May four years ago.

“Kung Fu Panda 2” appears poised to become the biggest animated hit of the year 
so far; but it would have to stretch well past its own predecessor to beat 
“Shrek Forever After,” another May release, which took in $238.7 million last 
year.

For the weekend, “The Hangover: Part II” sold $118 million from Thursday to 
Sunday, easily enough for No. 1. “Kung Fu Panda 2” was second. Disney’s 
“Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” was third with $39.3 million for 
a new total of $152.9

Yes, the TV's that are 3D ready are usually the TV's with the best picture 
and features. We don't sell them to push 3D. We think they have the best 
picture. 3D is just another added feature. I bought a Sony 55 inch 3D ready  
model KDL55NX810 months ago. It has the best picture I have ever seen on a TV. 
I did not buy the 3-D glasses. Its a good thing I didn't as they were over $100

3-D Starts to Fizzle, and Hollywood Frets
By BROOKS BARNES and MICHAEL CIEPLY
LOS ANGELES — Has the 3-D boom already gone bust? It’s starting to look that 
way — at least for American moviegoers — even as Hollywood prepares to release 
a glut of the gimmicky pictures.

Ripples of fear spread across Hollywood last week after “Pirates of the 
Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” which cost Walt Disney Studios an estimated 
$400 million to make and market, did poor 3-D business in North America. While 
event movies have typically done 60 percent of their business in 3-D, 
“Stranger Tides” sold just 47 percent in 3-D. “The American consumer is 
rejecting 3-D,” Richard Greenfield, an analyst at the financial services 
company BTIG, wrote of the “Stranger Tides” results.

One movie does not make a trend, but the Memorial Day weekend did not give 
studio chiefs much comfort in the 3-D department. “Kung Fu Panda 2,” a
 Paramount Pictures release of a DreamWorks Animation film, sold $53.8 million 
in tickets from Thursday to Sunday, a soft total, and 3-D was 45 percent of the 
business, according to Paramount.

Consumer rebellion over high 3-D ticket prices plays a role, and the novelty 
of putting on the funny glasses is wearing off, analysts say. But there is 
also a deeper problem: 3-D has provided an enormous boost to the strongest 
films, including “Avatar” and “Alice in Wonderland,” but has actually undercut 
middling movies that are trying to milk the format for extra dollars.

“Audiences are very smart,” said Greg Foster, the president of Imax Filmed 
Entertainment. “When they smell something aspiring to be more than it is, they 
catch on very quickly.”

Muddying the picture is a contrast between the performance of 3-D movies in 
North America and overseas. If results are troubling domestically, they are 
the exact opposite
 internationally, where the genre is a far newer phenomenon. Indeed, 3-D 
screenings powered “Stranger Tides” to about $256 million on its first weekend

With the active glasses you are getting 1080 per eye,  with passive 540. 
Families with a large number of young children tend to buy the passive 3D TV's. 
All customers like the 3D image on the active 3D TV's better than the passive 
in my experience showing the TV's to them. If you get closer than six feet to 
the passive 3D TV, there is a lot of crosstalk (double images) - not a problem 
on the active 3D TV.

That's because Samsung among others uses 
Active 3D and a few other brands use Passive 3D.
At the moment active-shutter glasses are 
more expensive, and often hard to use for prolonged periods of time, but 
give a better 3D image.

Wonderful article, Earl.

I can tell you that this theater was the best I have ever seen a film in, and I 
include the Pacific
Cinerama dome, and the Cinerama theaters in Seattle as well.  I saw DOCTOR 
ZHIVAGO, OLIVER!, KHARTOUM,
THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE and 2001 there.  These films were great for that venue. 
 
ZHIVAGO was
shot in 35mm and blown to 70, and looked great.  Sometimes they would show 35mm 
stuff there and
the result was not always the best.  I recall BECKET looking a little 
distorted.  The last film
I remember seeing there was THE GO BETWEEN, and I wondered at the time: Why?

It later became a disco, and I heard, though I never witnessed i,t that they 
would project scrap film
while the patrons were dancing.  Can anyone confirm this?  

It was a stellar movie-going experience.  I saw SPARTACUS at the Century City 
in 
L.A. when they
refurbished the film, and it looked great.  But as far as a facility, nothing 
touched the Windsor.

And the SOUND was super.  Loud with great dynamic range when 70mm was the 
source

but never drilling and harsh like the worst of these digital rigs can sometimes 
be.

Tony Curtis, a classically handsome movie star whoearned an
Oscar nomination as an escaped convict in StanleyKramer's
1958 movie The Defiant Ones, but whose publicpreferred him
in comic roles in films like Some Like It Hot (1959)and
The Great Race (1965), died Wednesday of a cardiacarrest
in his Las Vegas area home. He was 85.

His death was confirmedby the Clark County coroner, The

sculptural style laterimitated by Elvis Presley, and plucked
eyebrows framing paleblue eyes and wide, full lips, Mr.
Curtis embodied a new kind of feminized male beautythat came

I am currently auctioning a German program for BIRD OF PARADISE and it is

My question is were there sexier European versions of early 1930s U.S. movies, 
as they later did in the 1950s and 1960s, or were there just a lot of pre-code 
movies with major stars appearing topless (or was this an exception because it

Thanks. I would like to see it. It was the New York Warner Theatre that showed 
South Seas Adventure starting July 15, 1958 for 44 weeks.

I definitely had one for South Sea Adventure.  It had a the New York theatre's 
name imprinted on the one sheet.  I'm sure Kirby remembers this because he was 
with me when we found the poster in Las Vegas.  It was a folded one sheet and I 
was surprised because I'd only seen window cards and jumbo window cards on the 
documentaries.  If I find a photo of it, I'll send it to you.

Re: [MOPO] Cinerama Wonderful World of Brothers Grimm SOUTH SEA ADVENTURE CINERAMA

[Roland Lataille]

With all this talk about Cinerama maybe this would be a good its time for 
someone who has a large collection of Cinerama roadshow items (3-D postcards, 
ticket flyers, movie programs, lobby cards, movie posters, etc.), to put them 
out for sale in an auction. I think there is something for every Cinerama film 
released.

I just started working at a new job as a salesman for P.C. Richard  Son. I'm 
showing these two guys the latest 3D televisions. The demo is showing them 
scenes from the Grand Canyon Imax film. One of them says Well, if they can 
release 3D porn on Blu-ray I'll buy it. I tell him that they are coming out 
with a 3D porn film in Imax. He says he will be back in two weeks and buy the

Re: [MOPO] age shall not weary them

I'm 58. I took the early retirement incentive offered by the State of 
Connecticut  in July of 2009. I'm too young to retire from working but it was 
an 
offer that was just too good to pass up. I have been looking for a job since 
then with no luck until recently. I was offered a salesman job by PC Richard 
and 
Son last month so, I took it. Even though its about 56 hours a week (I had 
worked 35 hours a week for the State of Connecticut) and paid only by 
commission, its the only job offer I have had in a year. I have an IT 
background 
but no job offers for any IT jobs. But, I do have an interview (really a second 
interview) Wednesday for an IT position with another company so I hope I get 
that - only 37.5 hours a week.

I would think, though, that beautiful posters will alwaysbe in 
demand. 
 Intuitively, there's a point at which the originalactor/actress 
 may 
become unknown to new generations, but the art willlikely remain 
attractive to those generations.  And, there's the factthat the 
posters 
themselves could bring around new generations to themovies 
themselves.

stanwyck, lancaster, laughton, milland,  garfield, 
colbert...so many awesome  
posters 
that we seek to buy from the 40s, 50s may  lose out.TMC might 
help avoid these stars  from dying.
 
i just bought a beautiful, powerful one sheet:   HIGH WALL, 1948 
with 
robert taylor, audrey totter and herbert  marshall.  WANT TO POLL 
PEOPLE 
UNDER 40 who knows any of those  stars?  
 
casablanca, mildred pierce, bogart, bette davis are  among those 
that 
will always be sought-after.

Yeah, I think that's how I feel too.  I couldn't do it.   Also, 
the 
market can absorb a lot of a good thing.  Again,  with first 
edition 
books, about 15 years ago, the first two books by a  popular 
writer were 
remaindered by a big remainder company.  About  300 of each hit 
the 
market at once.  The company limited sales of  two of each per 
buyer. 
 The books previously sold for about 200  each.  None were sold 
 other 
than the remainders for a few years.   Then, while no one noticed, 
the 
prices were back to what they used  to be.


Over time, for good posters, new buyers will increase demand and  
that 
will prop up the price I think.  But, I do agree that the must  be 
let 
go over a few years.

Nah, destroying any old art/collectible that hasmanaged to 
survive 
into the current era is just flat out criminal. Butthere's no 
reason 
not to do as many on this list have suggested: Keepa couple for 
yourself and trickle out the rest very slowly into themarket. 
This 
is so obvious you'd think everyone would understand it --yet I

eBay is offering no listing fees right now so that's probably why you see so 
many movie posters with high prices. Although when I look for my interest - 
movies that were promoted as being 'In CINERAMA I see the same high prices, 
month after month. They never sell and the dealer never lowers their prices.

I just searched ebay for movie posters (US originals only).  I 
sorted them by highest price first with 100 per page.  After 3 pages I 
stopped because the prices were too ridiculous for words and it was a total 
waste of time.
 
My fun question is - Which seller has the most ridiculous prices on 
ebay?
 
Try it first and you will see what I mean.

Why does MoPo have around 500 
  members (and around 25 who post regularly) and the other forums have no 
  greater number of regular posting members, when we (eMoviePoster.com) have 
  sold to 31,400 movie paper collectors?

Re: [MOPO] DIAL M FOR MURDER (1954) 9535 |

I would love to see this movie in 3-D if it ever is released in the new Blu-ray 
3D format. I saw it in dual projection 3-D at the New York Film Forum many 
years ago and the 3-D was excellent with no ghosting.
