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.
