Here are some interesting facts about
movie posters:
*The oldest one we have uncovered is from 1967 and is displayed in our lobby.
*The 1970's era posters have a mix of actual stiff "posterboard" and flimsy thin paper.
*Posters did not become two-sided (can be back-lit) until the later 80's
and not all of the studios printed them that way, but now it is the standard.
*For a few years in the late 80's & early 90's, posters were folded, sent in an envelope and are creased!
* Theaters rarely receive more than 2 posters, unless the Studio sends a teaser poster for early promotion.
