LOS ANGELES TIMES, Dec. 25, 2009 (Front and Calendar sections)

* 2nd week ad for Avatar
* Premiere ad & review of Sherlock Holmes and It's Complicated
* Many other Christmas weekend ads for blockbuster movies

A terrific issue on the premiere of the motion picture hits "Sherlock Holmes and It's Complicated", which includes full-page ads and reviews of each. Also present are large ads for "AVATAR" , (2nd week), "Nine", "Up in the Air" (a double-page ad), "Did You Here About the Morgans", "Crazy Heart", "Invictus", and more. See photos for details. There is perhaps no better issue for these ads to be found than this - the leading newspaper from the home of the entertainment industry - the Hollywood area's prime publication.
The front page has an article on The Senate's passing of Obamacare - aka, The Affordable Care Act.
Included are the complete First and Calendar sections, in very good condition (never in circulation).

Note: Where else might one find authentic, ads for Opening Run showings, in the most desirable Hollywood-area newspaper - as we were lucky enough to obtain this (and others) indirectly from the Los Angeles Times' own collection? It simply doesn't get any better! In over 40 years of collecting, we have yet to see such unique & dramatic coverage with truly top-shelf, eye-catching displayability (see images).
