Good Help Posters Are Hard To Find

This Movie Poster Monday we'll be reviewing "The Help". This week's five points of the poster are:

1) What are they whispering about? In this age of celebrity gossip and reality TV they will likely make $15 million just from people who want to know what they're saying. Good move poster designers!

2) Any time someone in a poster is looking directly at you it's creepy. Kind of like old oil paintings in a castle where it feels like the eyes in the painting are following you. This may scare some people away from this movie.

3) What does she have stuck on her nails? Did she just pick her nose? Wouldn't that be something, a Hollywood actress caught digging for gold on film! That would be worth the price of a ticket :)

4) The word "Change" may have worked for the Obama campaign, but it is now just associated with a failed promise to deliver. Not a good way to start a movie poster.

5) People are usually pretty good at following instructions if they are shouted at them loud enough. By shouting "HELP" loud and clear, it prompts some in the movie going public to respond to their SOS and purchase tickets to the movie.

In conclusion, based on this thorough analysis I predict that "The Help" will gross $28 million in its opening weekend.
