Earlier today we posted about the theatrical marathon AMC Theaters are doing for the INDIANA JONES films, and now we’ve got a brand new theatrical poster to show you that coincides with the IMAX showings. Artist Mark Raats turns in a Drew Struzan-esque RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK poster that perfectly fits with the Indy legacy. You can see a high-resolution version below. No word yet on whether or not these will be available, but we’ll keep you posted.

INDIANA JONES: The Complete Adventures will make its highly-anticipated Blu-ray debut on Sept. 18from Lucasfilm Ltd. and Paramount Home Media Distribution. In addition to all of Indy’s thrilling adventures, the set features seven hours of fascinating bonus material, including a brand new two-part documentary entitled “On Set with Raiders of the Lost Ark.” Featuring nearly an hour of rarely seen footage from the set of the film and archival interviews with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Harrison Ford, this captivating piece transports fans back to where the legend began.
Born and raised in Dallas, Mark has been a movie critic since 1994, with reviews featured in print, radio and National TV. In 2001 he started the Entertainment section of the Herorealm website, where he contributed film reviews and celebrity interviews until 2004. After three years of service there, he started Bigfanboy.com, which has become one of the Dallas film community's leading information websites. Bigfanboy hosts several movie screenings in the Texas area, and works closely with film and TV studios and promotional partners to host exciting events and contests. The site also features a variety of rare celebrity and filmmaker interviews, and Bigfanboy.com regularly covers the film festival circuit as well. In addition to Hollywood reporting, Mark has worked for many years as an advertising and sci-fi/comic book artist. Clients have included Lucasfilm Ltd., Topps Trading Cards, The Dallas Mavericks and The Dallas Stars. From 2002 until 2015 he managed the Dallas Comic Con, Sci-Fi Expo and Fan Days events in the DFW area. He currently catalogs rare comic books and movie memorabilia for Heritage Auctions, and runs the Dallas Comic Show conventions, but remains an avid moviegoer and cinema buff.
Thanks very much for the kind words Mark, I was alerted to your post by Google alerts.
Regarding the availability of these posters, this is the information I have from Lucasfilm:
IMAX:
I don’t have a firm answer on whether the IMAX theatres will be giving them away at this stage..
AMC Indy Marathons:
The Indy marathons that are running at AMC WILL be giving away a free poster and lanyard and the poster they are giving away is the new Raiders IMAX style poster. I’m not sure if this poster will have the IMAX branding on it or not though.
Blu-Ray:
There will be a MINI Raiders poster given away with the sale of the Blu-Ray from some vendors. I’m not sure if it will be ALL vendors or select one’s, but it has been confirmed that it will be a Mini poster and not a full one sheet.
Other sales:
Both LFL and Paramount have confirmed that this poster will NOT BE AVAILABLE from any store after the event. If you find anything it will be a bootleg copy.
IMPORTANT. Please note that ALL the above are USA exclusive arrangements. There are no plans to to make any of the above available anywhere else in the world.
