Metropolis was released in 1927 and was the most expensive silent film of its time. It is a German expressionist science fiction film about social class and the division it creates. It was directed by Fritz Lang and the poster was designed by graphic artist Heinz Schulz-Neudamm.
Only four posters were created, one is in the Museum of Modern Art, one in a German museum and one in a private collection. The room was sold for US $690,000 in 2005 to a US collector.
Selling movie items can be extremely profitable. Anything from posters to rare clothing or even autographs can fetch a surprising amount of money. After all, everyone loves movies, which makes this business interesting for those who want to earn extra money.
