Eye spoke before eye saw the trailer. Even the A24 logo is wiggly eyes. So eye now see how perfect it is. Eye saw another theater poster that was was completely eyes. Good fudge.

BRAWL
The boy tills the soil with the body of his opponent. Observing the battle, the flora and fauna eagerly anticipate the sacrifice they are about to receive. Plumes of smoke billow in the distance, as the drums of war pulsate electronically in the soundcloud. Brawl is a signed and numbered time-limited edition of giclée prints. The edition will be available for 24 hours starting at 8:00 AM PDT on Tuesday, May 24 and ending at 7:59 AM PDT on Wednesday, May 25. The edition is limited by the number of prints sold during those 24 hours and never reprinted.

Many dimensional details within the image

Jean's fan base is odd to me. Why is a timed edition of Everything All At Once print flipping for 3x it's cost a little more than a month out? It if was a set edition size i would understand. It seems odd.
I'm not someone else.

Sales are legit.
I'm guessing its due to the fact it was sold when many still hadn't watched the movie. After watching it they wanted one...

It's an unusual story .... . I love James Jean's artistic prints that to me look like fine art I will frame, but I also passed on this edition
as it's more like a movie poster I could not see framing . . Many others passed too- It was the smallest JJ open edition size ever at only 779 prints .
Ebay showed one quickly sold on 4/14 for $2500 !, (only EB users can see it only sold for $1450 ) , but wow,
that was enough fuel to start a price rally that is still going today ...will the rally keep going ? Thats mob psychology for ya... :pint:

Not just JJ fans buying tho. Peeps who saw the movie well after the timed edition window ended now want it. Probably didn’t even know the artist before the movie.

Who decided to make the timed release available and close before the movie hits the theaters? Sounds pretty dumb.

it was out very limited markets. but yeah, this is why edition was 'low' and the aftermarket is high. i did see it before pulling the trigger.

I think it also has something to do with how much people are so passionate about the movie. The timing for Shape of Water and mother! are beyond my recollection, but they aren't movies with passionate fanbases.

Its also helped by the fact that, his art of the poster wasn't the one sheet, or otherwise there would be more out there and less would be after JJ's version.

so its a couple of factors.

Shape of Water did have a passionate fanbase but it was also before the prices doubled and came out well after the movie was released - why it has a run of like 1700ish.

It also doesn't hurt that China is the largest consumer of cinema in the world. If your goal is investment, it will probably serve you well to purchase movie prints for Chinese and Chinese influenced films.

I think they typically have a 3 year no sale clause.
