This is an original U.S. theatrical one-sheet for A Christmas Story, the 1983 holiday classic directed by Bob Clark. Original copies are documented as 27x41 U.S. one-sheets, and the market shows both folded and unfolded originals. Rolled never-folded examples command a premium, while folded originals remain highly collectible.

For this copy, the key wording should be clear in both the title and the body: this poster was previously folded and is now rolled. That tells buyers exactly what they need to know and properly sets expectations that original fold lines may still be visible. This poster features the classic illustrated theatrical artwork with the family chaos around the fireplace and the long top line:

“A Tribute to the Original, Traditional, One-Hundred-Percent, Red-Blooded, Two-Fisted, All-American Christmas…”

That is the signature collector image for one of the most beloved Christmas movie posters of the 1980s.
