Stephen Lane, Prop Store CEO commented on the auction: “Prop Store’s Entertainment Memorabilia live auction, held at the BFI IMAX London, in partnership with ODEON, was a resounding success. Over 1,500 bidders duked it out during a marathon 11-hour event held in the comfort of the BFI IMAX screen, which was also streamed live around the world. Prop Store offered to market a phenomenal collection of film and television artifacts that were keenly contested for by collectors, investors and institutions alike.”

Sylvia Woon, Interim Commercial Director at ODEON UK & Ireland said: “Each year, Prop Store’s auction at London’s BFI IMAX gets bigger and better, and the collection of items from the exhibition that went under the hammer in 2017 were no exception. It was fantastic to see so many film fans come through our doors to see and bid on these incredible pieces of entertainment history – and we can’t wait to see what the team at Prop Store have got planned for 2018.”
