Heritage describes this exact Miramax U.S. theatrical issue as a 27" × 40" rolled one-sheet.

Authenticity Assessment

I would list this as an original 1994 U.S. theatrical one-sheet with high confidence.

Your photographs show the correct period features: Miramax Films logo, 1994 Miramax copyright, theatrical billing block, MPAA R-rating box, Dolby Stereo Digital mark, original soundtrack promotion, MK2 material and the correct U.S. theatrical artwork.

The design also corresponds to documented original examples held by major poster dealers and auction houses.

Condition

This one does show more handling than some of your cleaner examples. I can see edge wear along both vertical borders, small edge nicks, surface rubbing/scuffing in the dark areas, several light handling creases and some visible waviness. The top-left corner has noticeable handling wear, but I do not see major paper loss or a serious tear extending into the principal artwork.

I would grade it approximately:

Fine to Very Fine condition.

For the listing I would use:

Original rolled theatrical poster with strong color and excellent image presentation. Poster shows age-appropriate edge wear, small edge nicks, light surface scuffing/rubbing and scattered handling creases. No major folds or significant paper loss observed. Please review all photographs carefully, as they show the exact poster offered.

I would not use “Very Fine/Near Mint” for this copy.
