Comparisons of Film Posters

The first movie poster comes from the 1940 film Boom Town. This movie stars Spencer Tracy as well as other notable actors from the time which takes up a majority of the space on the poster. The comparison of the two movie posters here from Boom Town and Wolf of Wall Street aims to show how fame has shifted regarding lead actors. The image annotations show consistencies of movie posters throughout the decades and also the differences in movie productions. Over time there has been a shift from advertising many stars in movies to putting the spotlight on one or two famous actors.
