JAPANESE MOVIE CHIRASHI HANDBILL
ORIGINAL ISSUE RELEASE 1987
CHIRASHI
Japanese
movie
chirashi
are “mini-movie
posters”, commonly called handbills or flyers, used to advertised
movies in Japan,
and are
typically distributed in limited quantities inside
the theaters at
the time of the
original
theatrical release of the film in Japan.
Chirashi are intricately designed with artwork, characters,
and scenes from the film
very similar to the images shown on the
larger movie posters.
What is unique about Japanese chiarashi is
that much of the artwork is custom created for the Japanese movie
market
with a distinctive Japanese design which will often look quiet
differently to the artwork in the United States
and other
countries...in many cases the design is superior.
SOMETIMES CHIRASHI MAY HAVE TWO OR MORE PAGES.
Chirashi's serve as a physical memento of the movie-going experience in Japan and are considered collectibles due to their
CONDITION, RARITY, LIMITED AVAILABILITY, MOVIE POPULARITY, AESTHETIC APPEAL AND POSTER DESIGN.
Movie chirashi are considered “used” the moment someone picks it up to view, and, therefore, may have general signs of handling
such as edge wear, wrinkles, creases, a minute chip or unobtrusive smudges.
For those reasons it is indeed rare to find a movie chirashi absent from imperfections and blemishes.
However, some chirashi's are unused and remain in the bin.
These unused chirashi's, if handled, protected and stored away properly, will remain highly sought after.
Many unused chirashi's are very rare with the perfect ones usually graded in NM-M “used” condition.
Due to their handy size and low cost they are, by far, the most popular size poster among Japanese collectors
as well as movie memorabilia collector’s worldwide.

Offered here is the original release issue handbill from Shochiku Central Cinema in Japan
that was available to movie goers when PREDATOR was released in 1987.
The handbill was available during the venue at
the time of the initial Japanese screening several years ago
and now is a very rare movie collectible.
This handbill is a rare and original issue from the 1st installment of the PREDATOR series.
It features exclusive artwork and design made specifically for the international movie market.
The handbill was produced by 20th Century Fox and distributed by the company.
The cast includes Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weather, Jesse Ventura, and Bill Duke.
The movie falls under the science fiction action film genre and was directed by John McTiernan.
This piece of movie memorabilia was first premiered in Japan on June 27, 1987,
and this is a Chirashi from that era.
The item is shipped from the USA with a flat rate shipping charge of $5.00.
Please look closely at the photos as it shows the exact chirashi you are buying.
This awesome chirashi is actually a micro-poster from the larger official Japanese movie poster
from PREDATOR... it just doesn't have the incredibly high price.
I would condition this chirashi as excellent for a collection.
