June 5, 2020

A rare movie poster for the 1933 classic film “The Invisible Man” disappeared on March 21 for $182,400 at Heritage’s movie poster signature auction. The sale coincided with the 2020 remake, starring Elisabeth Moss, which became among Hollywood’s first to go the route of home streaming-on-demand.
The 27-by-41-inch one-sheet original for the famous Universal monster movie is one of just a small handful of examples to exist.
H.G. Wells’ concept for a crazed scientist turned invisible is holding well with today’s viewers. The 2020 remake of “The Invisible Man” is popular with fans and critics, with Rotten Tomato scores of 92 percent with critics and 88 percent with viewers.
The two-day poster sale grossed $2.64 million.
“Even in these troubled economic and uncertain times, this was a big success,” said Grey Smith, director of posters at Heritage Auctions.
