The phrase "Glutton for punishment" comes to mind, but I thought I'd use this space to see if anyone has ever seen a daybill for 'Superfly'? It was granted an R rating in February 1973. I've never seen a newspaper ad for a session in Australia, thou…

I wonder, too, if some of the difference is due to the fact that something like basketball cards are made purely as collectibles. Signed cards, relic cards, limited die-cut cards - they're all designed simply for people to collect, swap and sell. Po…

BUMP!
Y'know - I still regularly revisit this thread when I see an image that might be one of the unidentified ones in this thread! After all this time, I'm still drawing a blank! I thought I'd open the crypt on this thread and see if fre… -
Awesome! I love that new stuff is still out there to be found :-)

Ehat's the story with the Sensurround posters? Not seen them before!

I don't know if it's as simple as availability. True, there are ample examples of some key comics and cards out there, but there are certainly other 'grail' items that a collector may have to spends years to track down - which is the same for poster…

It was relatively common in the late 70's / early 80's for horror and exploitation films to be released only with a daybill. A quick look through some of my press sheets shows these films as having no one sheet:
* Madman.
* The Black… -
Well...she's got tape burns, texta and, for reasons unknown, she's currently in Paris, but I FOUND ONE!!!
in Foxy Brown (and other blaxploitation) daybills

Home schooling - I feel ya! 4 kids here to 'teach'...oh boy!
My work continues to chug along; I've only been in the office for a few hours in the past month and it is starting to feel pretty isolating. I really feel for those on furloughs… -
Hi Bruce!
Now that the auctions on eMovie run longer, I was curious as to what the logistics would be about regularly posting some preview pictures of the upcoming auction (as you do now with the major auctions)?
Perhaps not a … -

Alternating WFH with being in the office. Only two staff in my area (including me), so pretty isolated anyway. I'm in an 'essential' job, so I'll be working right through regardless of how bleak it gets.

I'm always biased towards a daybill! That said - a little colour in the daybill would have been nice, but I think the daybill is the scarier.

Are we to assume that most cinemas didn't take up the 22 x 28 option for advertising?

Great research!

Hi Bruce,
I was curious as to whether you're seeing an increase in new bidders in recent times? -
Yeah...I would think so. That means that we're back to having no evidence of an Australian 22 x 28.

Good evening folks!
Just to muddy the waters some more, here's the Aussie press sheet for Carrie...listing BOTH a half sheet AND a 22 x 28!
in Aussie 22 x 28s?

The Carrie portrait 22x28 was printed by MAPS - surely it’s not the only example of that style of poster?
-
Hunting around on Trove shows a few listings in the late 1970s / early 1980s for Dusk til Dawn marathons. I think the MAPS logo is the post 1975 one.

(Quote) Nope - fully printed.

Just realized I've parked this in completely the wrong thread! Can someone please move it to research? Thanks!

I have the NZ double bill 'daybill' for Superbeast / Daughters of Satan with the strategic placement of ratings to cover the 'scary' bits
Definitely interested to hear about the drive-in!With the posters I prefer, I do seem to see the applicant details on the OFLC website and the distributor on the poster being different quite a lot. I think you're right about applicants 'on-selling' their films once they were done with them.I have to ask - where do you get access to all these old newspaper ads?
Amazing to see that the most expensive poster Bruce has ever sold was a 1933 King Kong one sheet for $97k and this 1998 Pokemon card recently sold for $224k!in A great mystery about vintage movie posters that has baffled long time collectors for decades! Comment by Pancho January 2020
I guess it must have been cheap to import a film back then!
If these companies bothered to get the films passed through the censors, you can only assume that they must have produced some advertising for them.
I do wonder, howev…
