I have been having a heck of a time getting any response from the Overture Films people for one-sheets or any other promotional material for their films that we have scheduled (The Visitor and Traitor). Faxed, phoned, e-mailed....nothing.

Has anyone had any success in getting promotional material from them (can't get it direct from Technicolor)? If so, teach me your secret!

I called Zach Beebee about rated one-sheets for Righteous Kill, but that's all. Unfortunately they didn't have the rated one-sheets but offered to send stickers I could add to the unrated sheets.

We're playing both Righteous Kill & Traitor now at the theatre and our one sheet posters just showed up. I didn't order them - they just kinda showed up.

LOL Well, I hope ours just shows up. I've had to make my own posters and promo material for Traitor and The Visitor. I couldn't wait any longer. )-:

I contacted our district promotions manager about having screening for Righteous Kill for Police, EMT, uniforms, etc. He left emails and voicemails, and heard nothing back.

This is after receiving a fax from them about special items like signed posters for special promotions...

I did eventually recieve a one-sheet for Traitor and The Visitor on the day they opened. Apparently they wait until you actually book the film (which doesn't occur for us until the Monday before the Friday opening) before sending out posters.

I had received Traitor one-sheets quite a while ago. I don't remember if I ordered them from Technicolor or if it was an auto-ship. And then I was able to order Righteous Kill directly from Technicolor a week or two before the movie opened.

Unfortunately both one-sheets were unrated. I called Zach at Overture and he was supposed to send me ratings stickers I could apply to the one-sheets but I never received them.
