Times Square U.K. Quad Poster

28 October, 2016 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

A standard one-sheet movie poster is 40 inches high by 27 inches wide. A “quad” poster, which I don’t think they make anymore, is 40 inches wide by 30 inches high. EMI took this extra space and zoomed in on the top two-thirds of the painting, cutting it off just

Times Square U.K. Movie Poster

After all the work that went into creating the logo on the cover of the UK Press Kit, and the poster-worthy image that had been used to promote the movie’s production in the 21-28 June, 1980 Screen International, EMI went with this image for the UK movie poster. The painting

Tiger Beat Vol. 17 No. 2, November 1980

2 March, 2016 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

The November Tiger Beat also came out before Times Square’s October release, judging by the full-page teaser ad that ran on page 29. In fact we can narrow down the date it came out to sometime between the releases of the first two singles from

Canadian Movie Poster

The movie poster for Times Square in Canada is almost identical to the U.S. poster. In fact, it is a U.S. poster, with two white stickers affixed to the bottom, one covering the American “R” rating barring under-17’s without a parent or guardian, and the other adding the Canadian “R”

Soundtrack Promotional Poster OP-200

“O” is for “oversized,” I assume. This image is the same size as the image of the last poster, but trust me, the actual poster is double the size — just as tall and twice as wide. At four feet wide, it may be the largest poster in my collection;

Soundtrack Promotional Poster P-201

30 August, 2015 Sean 2 Comments 1 category

The top of this poster uses the elements of the album cover art. The text strips have been moved, and the title has been enlarged, tilted to the right rather than the left, and has had most of its color removed, all to take advantage of the larger space

Original Soundtrack Album Cover Promo Display

This was the very first item of Times Square memorabilia I ever got (although, like the double-sided poster, not this specific copy of it). I saw the film twice at the Quakerbridge Mall, which had two record stores in it (later there were three, if you can imagine such a

AFD Campaign Pressbook (pages 7-20)

12 August, 2015 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

The remaining 14 pages of the AFD Campaign Pressbook consist of the poster reconfigured to fit every imaginable size of newspaper movie advertisement. I’m not posting all of them (because webspace is neither infinite nor free), just enough to give you an idea. The back cover gives a contact at

U.S. Insert Card Poster

16 July, 2015 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

Insert cards aren’t made anymore, but they were my favorite form of movie poster, because the three windows in my bedroom way back when were spaced perfectly to fit two insert cards between. Also, the heavier card stock made them more durable when taking them down and putting them

The U.S. Movie Poster

7 July, 2015 Sean 0 Comments 1 category

The final design for the movie poster retains the two overlapping askew rectangles from the poster side of the double-sided poster. That poster had a black rectangle over a purple rectangle over a red background; here it’s changed to yellow over blue over white. The colorized collage of Nicky and
