B1 x 9: 210cm x 310 cm, This poster is the largest format that Japanese posters come in and was used for the first showing in 1976, We are very honored to be able to have this amazing, huge and formidable poster for one of the most famous characters in film - KING KONG.
This poster is so big it is almost a life size King Kong. It will be the centerpiece to any collection or display. Due to the size, it could also be the iconic and symbolic heart of a commercial business - hotel, office, food and beverage... the options are endless!
Japanese premiere billboards - in this case made from nine overlapping B1s - are the rarest posters in Japan. Nearly all were displayed and discarded as they took up so much space and were not desirable for Japanese collectors who are extremely space conscious. For a country that prioritized collecting B5 chirashi, this almost 3 meter wide poster is not feasible to display in most Japanese homes. For this poster to exist almost 50 years later is unbelievable - it is very unlikely that another exists.
King Kong is a 1976 American monster adventure film produced by Dino De Laurentiis and directed by John Guillermin. It is a remake of the 1933 film of the same name about a giant ape that is captured and taken to New York City for exhibition. Featuring special effects by Carlo Rambaldi, it stars Jeff Bridges, Charles Grodin, and Jessica Lange in her first film role. It's the 5th entry in the King Kong franchise.
