What Makes a Movie Poster Original?
AUTHENTICITY MATTERS
Original Movie Posters vs Reproductions
There is a big difference between an original movie poster and a reproduction.
A reproduction is a later print made for decoration. It may use familiar artwork, but it was not part of the film’s original theatrical advertising campaign. An original poster, by contrast, was created for the promotion of the film itself.
Originals are valued because they combine film history, graphic design, scarcity and authenticity. They are objects from the life of the film, not simply images of it.
That is why every poster we sell is clearly described, with format, size, condition and release details included wherever possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Buying an original movie poster is a little different from buying a modern print — and that is part of the appeal. Here you will find answers to the questions we are asked most often.
Are all of your posters original?
Yes. We specialise in original theatrical movie posters, lobby cards, movie stills and related cinema advertising material. We do not describe modern reproductions or decorative prints as originals.
Do your posters come with a Certificate of Authenticity?
Yes. Original posters purchased from Art of the Movies include a Certificate of Authenticity.
Are the posters new?
No. Original movie posters are vintage or previously issued cinema advertising materials. Condition varies from poster to poster, so each item is individually described.
You can also read our guide to condition, folding and backing.
What is the difference between an original poster and a reproduction?
An original poster was produced as part of a film’s theatrical advertising campaign. A reproduction is a later decorative print. Originals are collected for their authenticity, history, artwork, format and connection to the film’s release.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship worldwide from the U.K. Posters are carefully packed for safe delivery.
