Auction History Result 3h0269 LOT OF 21 1970S-80S FILM BULLETIN MAGAZINES 1970s-1980s filled with great images & articles! Date Sold 11/27/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 21 issues of Film Bulletin, one of the many trade magazines sent to movie theater owners starting in the 1930s (this one was a bi-weekly, and we don't know exactly how long it continued publication or when it started). Each magazine measured approximately 9" x 12", and each contained around 30 pages. Each bi-weekly issue would be filled with articles about upcoming movies, statistics about box office grosses of current releases, and sometimes articles about coming developments in motion picture technology, and sometimes sections illustrating how theaters advertised current movies Of greatest interest to collectors are the dozens of advertisements (most full-page) from all of the major studios! Some of these ads were full-color, and the studios spent a great deal of time and money creating them, for it was through these exhibitor magazines that the studios gained bookings for their upcoming releases, which was the direct income they received from those movies (by contrast, the posters they created helped theaters take in more money, but that did not directly benefit the studios, except when they owned the theaters, or if higher grosses resulted in more bookings). Note that these exhibitor magazines were ONLY sent to theater owners, and the general public never had a chance to buy them. But most theater owners treated them like old newspapers, throwing them away after the movies had played. Consequently, they are extremely rare, especially those from the 1930s!. Note that the items in this lot are from the 1970s to the 1980s. Measurements: 9" x 12"Note that we have provided a picture of the front cover of each magazine, but no other images.
