2) The Mummy (1932) – $535,500
Again Boris Karloff makes another awesome poster! The most expensive US film poster is “The Mummy” from 1932 and when it sold for $435,500 in 1997 it was the highest price ever paid for a poster.
In 1997, the poster of the film that was released in 1932 was sold for $535,500 at an auction.
It was another movie produced by Universal Pictures and it was directed by Karl Freund.
The same actor that starred in Frankenstein was the head of this poster too.
With this, it holds the distinction of being the most expensive poster for an American film.
Why spend half a million when you can buy a copy on amazon for $15?
