If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned three examples in all our years of auctioning and the last time was in 2011! Note also that this three-sheet was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Also note that this movie was originally in 3-D. The studios created both 3D and 2D posters and lobby cards (the 2-D posters and lobby cards were for theaters that lacked the 3-D equipment). This poster is from the "3-D" release. Condition: good. The upper section of the poster has many pinholes around the edges, and there are partial pieces of tape around the large "3 DIMENSION" at top (likely a snipe was once taped there by a theater not showing the 3D version of this movie) but fortunately the theater did not place tape in the artwork itself under that area. There is separation at the bottom vertical foldline edge that has been repaired with clear tape from the back. There are some creases, scuffs and small tears in portions of the folds, and there is some small paper loss at the lower right crossfold. The lower section has slight discoloration scattered in some areas from exposure to moisture, pinholes around the edges and a tear at lower left that has been repaired with tape from the back. It has extra folds and some areas of rippling. The poster has some defects as described above, but fortunately many affect the edges and the are is mainly "all there" and while many collectors could choose to display the poster as is, after linenbacking with some proper restoration it would display well, but of course bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
