JJ did the official one sheet for the theaters. Odds are he had permission to do the art print.letstalkprints wrote:Mondo has the licenses but then how much of a cut goes to them. JJ is doing fine by himself, didn't need a license on this and sold how many for $200?

Maybe.
Time will tell....you’ve only made it in the poster world as an artist when you’ve done at least one predator print
Ya'll see the leprechaun say yaaaaaa!

What I meant was that you’re getting all the normal JJ fans buying, plus a spillover (surplus) from the mondo crowd, who will buy simply because it’s the art from the movie poster.
Fair point. I'd just imagine it's a perfect storm of good art, the image being an official one for the one-sheet, the Mondo/movie poster crowd being interested, and the film's buzz from being an Oscar contender. It all worked out well for this release.
1700 is huge, but honestly the man being able to sell like 800 bunny orgy prints is already mighty impressive.

Thinking about it that way, I am almost surprised the edition size isn't higher. Haha!

Way to go JJ, its a lovely piece of artwork for what i hear is a wonderful film. I'd have went for one but...
I'm sure ill try to nab the one sheet at some point, but hats off to all those that made the good call. Cool to see so good artists get official one sheets as of late.

I think I woulda bought one if it had an official movie title block. lovely image, but a bit of context woulda been nice too.
