Design & Features: Distinctive minimalist red, yellow, and black silkscreen-style artwork framed by the bold 20th Century Fox arch logo. Stylised illustration of a Western gunfight scene dominates the lower half, with the Australian “NRC” (Not Recommended for Children) rating. Simple block text and striking colour palette give it a unique graphic appeal compared to more photographic U.S. designs.

Collectors’ Note: Australian daybills for Butch & Sundance: The Early Days are relatively uncommon due to the film’s modest box-office success compared to its 1969 predecessor. This 1979 release is notable as an early-career feature for Tom Berenger and for its minimalist Australian print design — a departure from the international versions. Values are steady among collectors of Western prequels, 1970s Fox titles, and Richard Lester completists. Unfolded examples or linen-backed versions command the higher end of the range.
