"Keep that one - mark it Fab"

So, to follow on from my 'how much is a cardboard box worth?' question the other day -
How much is a movie poster worth?

I assume my invite (I wish!) to go to the Leicester Square premiere of the new Beatles documentary movie went astray, so next best thing was to go to the live stream broadcast at the Odeon in Braehead. Dad came too, and really enjoyed it as well.
First up - an entertaining hour of live broadcast from the 'red carpet' (which was actually blue), followed by the movie itself. It was really excellent, and definitely worth seeing in a cinema environment rather that waiting for the inevitable Blu-ray/DVD release. It was then followed by a screening of their 1965 Shea Stadium concert, wonderfully restored and sounding great.

In the brief gap between the red carpet broadcast and the movie starting, the cinema auctioned off for charity the only copy of the promotional poster they had - see photo above (it was lucky I took a photo before the film rather than waiting until afterwards).
Starting bid was £5. It went for £100.
