Some basic information:
In Japan, these flyers are known as chirashi, and they are distributed
by Japanese film companies, usually in cinemas but also in other
locations sometimes, to promote forthcoming films. Often, especially
for a film that is expected to be popular, there are two different
chirashi created for each film. The earlier version, sometimes released
literally months in advance of the opening of the film, is designed to
raise awareness. This is often followed by a second version,
distributed closer to the film's actual Japanese release date. In rare
cases there are more than two types, but it is quite unusual.
Some of these flyers are VERY limited, others readily available in many
locations, but all are the same - when it comes to the release date of
the film, all chirashi are returned to the film companies, or destroyed.
All chirashi measure approximately 19cm x 26cm, and often feature
unique graphics and, almost ALWAYS, great Japanese text unseen by overseas audiences. Great for framing, they can make inexpensive little
masterpieces on your walls, or an economical and interesting
collection, that is easy to store!
