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 How The West Was Won. In it's 3-strip Cinerama roadshow release, there were less than 150 theatres in the world that could show 3-strip Cinerama so, how many of those posters (say 1-sheet) were printed?

Clearly a lot more movie posters were printed for The Ten Commandments for instance than the Last Days of Pompeii.

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 theatres in the world at one time operating, would they produce a smaller amount of posters for the roadshow Cinerama theatres or was there a minimum that had to be printed?
