- erehweb 2y agoI'm suspicious that a rights holder would be submitting an AI thumbnail. Still, anything that Amazon puts in Prime is something they should be willing to stand behind.
- xmprt 2y agoWhy is that suspicious. The rights holders core competency is in making the content. If they can offload poster/thumbnail creation then I'm sure they would.
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 2y agoPart of that core competency is promotion isn't it? A part of that used to be posters to put in the lobby of a movie theater advertising what was coming soon. Much later home media needed a cover for the boxes. If I search for the movie on another amazon property I'd expect to see that poster.
- arealaccount 2y agoIf it was intentional it was a brilliant move - I've seen people talking about this movie now on several different forums.

- legitster 2y agoI think it's important to note that this happened on a very old movie. In the 67 years since it's original release, most people creatively attached to it have long since died. The person uploading it to Amazon is nothing more than a corporate bean-counter. > Still, anything that Amazon puts in Prime is something they should be willing to stand behind. Have you looked at their catalog? They publish movies that creators can't even bother to burn to DVDs.
