This exact ensemble artwork was added to the film's advertising campaign on October 31, 2013, before theatrical release, and carries the advance “December” release language rather than a specific date. The film subsequently opened in limited release December 13 and expanded wide December 20.
This is an original 2013 theatrical advance movie poster for AMERICAN HUSTLE, David O. Russell's acclaimed crime comedy-drama inspired by the FBI's ABSCAM operation of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The poster features an exceptional five-star ensemble cast design, with Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Christian Bale, Jennifer Lawrence and Jeremy Renner presented together in the film's unmistakable 1970s styling. Across the top, all five actors receive prominent billing, while the center carries the memorable tagline:
“Everyone Hustles to Survive.”
The artwork was part of the film's original 2013 promotional campaign and was released after the individual character posters, bringing the five principal characters together for the theatrical marketing push.
Christian Bale stars as con man Irving Rosenfeld, alongside Amy Adams as Sydney Prosser. After the pair are caught by ambitious FBI agent Richie DiMaso, played by Bradley Cooper, they become involved in an elaborate sting targeting political corruption. Jeremy Renner plays Camden mayor Carmine Polito, while Jennifer Lawrence delivers one of the film's standout performances as Irving's unpredictable wife, Rosalyn.
The film became both a critical and commercial success, earning 10 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Bale, Best Actress for Adams, Best Supporting Actor for Cooper and Best Supporting Actress for Lawrence.
For collectors, the biggest strength of this particular design is straightforward: all five major stars appear prominently on a single original theatrical poster. That gives it crossover appeal to collectors of Christian Bale, Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, David O. Russell and Academy Award-nominated cinema.
This is an authentic studio-issued original theatrical advertising poster from the film's 2013 release—not a reproduction, reprint or decorative print.
SINGLE-SIDED / SS IDENTIFICATION
For this poster, I would actually use SS in the listing.
This exact “Everyone Hustles to Survive” five-character advance design is consistently documented as an original single-sided U.S. one-sheet:
Posteritati identifies the original 27x40 teaser as single-sided.
MovieArt identifies the same original advance artwork as single-sided.
MoviePosters.com identifies its original 27x40 example as single-sided and rolled.
A current original example is explicitly marketed as a 27x40 single-sided original U.S. one-sheet.
So unlike several of the posters we've been doing, single-sided is not a downgrade or an anomaly here—it appears to be the standard original theatrical configuration for this design.

CONDITION
Excellent overall condition.
From the photographs, this poster presents extremely well with deep black background tones, vivid gold typography, strong color and an exceptionally clean central image area.
I do not see obvious:
Pinholes
Tears
Tape residue
Writing
Major creasing
Significant corner damage
Heavy surface wear
There is only minor natural rolled-paper waviness along portions of the outer edges, consistent with storage of an original theatrical one-sheet.
The metal pieces visible in the photographs are magnets used only to hold the poster flat during photography and do not pierce or damage the poster.
Please review all photographs carefully, as the exact poster shown is the poster the buyer will receive.
SHIPPING
The poster will be carefully rolled and professionally packed in a sturdy shipping tube to help protect it during transit.
This original poster will never be folded for shipment.
