So, I take it that everyone wants to continue to
pretend that the number of original posters a
studio prints up for a new release --
particularly a blockbuster -- is only the amount
they figure they need to send to the theaters,
then? The dealers want to go on claiming that
the number of original posters for these
releases is somehow "limited", that only a few
are snuck out of the system by brave bands of
guerrilla poster liberations operatives and into
the hands of collectors? And that in the future
posters for new films are going to be "hard to
come by" and "valuable collectibles" like posters from the 1980's and earlier?
OK, I guess... but someone is going to have to
get the word out to MovieGoods.com and the other
big internet wholesalers. I note that they
currently have originals of DEAD MAN'S CHEST for
$29.99 (hmmm... they upped their usual price
from $19.99 for this opening week hype...) but
they are *also* offering the Style A
*single-sided* as an original for the same
price? I thought the studios no longer printed
single-sided for the theaters? Am I wrong about
that? Of course, they also list a same-size
"reproduction" of the Style A for $14.99 --
which as far as I can tell is indistinguishable
from the "original". Are we supposed to believe
that someone other than the studio was printing
up "reproductions" for this thing *before* it
was ever released? C'mon... all of this stuff is
coming out of the same studio-authorized
printing operation that printed up the posters
now hanging in the theater lightboxes, and they
are cranking them out by the hundreds of thousands.

If its showing on 8500 screens I would estimate
a higher production number, maybe 4 posters per
screen for inside display and two for outside
displays. It was showing on 4 of the 16 screens
at one of the large multiplexes here and I
counted 12 posters inside alone, and I wasn't
really looking for them. Although showing only
on one screen out of four I would have ordered
10 of each. Soon I will personally find out if
that is possible when my little four screen theater opens in september.

Auction results on Super Fleabay will depend on
whose auctions and what pirates there are then.
So if there's 19,000 one sheets (and this does
NOT include the internationals) and is a VERY
conservative estimate, how many fakeroonies are
also out there muddying the waters of the Caribbean?
I've got 50 and laminated them all to preserve
them and get ahead on this slabbing bullshit thing.
