Film auction hero banner

The earliest event on the calendar is Vectis Auctions' dedicated film memorabilia sale, slated to close on a Thursday in early January 2026. Collectors can expect a curated mix of original props, production stills and signed scripts from classic and contemporary titles. Shortly thereafter, Keys' Popular Culture, Music, Film and Sporting Memorabilia auction is scheduled for later in 2026, offering a broad spectrum of film items ranging from vintage posters to celebrity‑signed memorabilia, all packaged alongside other pop‑culture collectibles.

Mid‑year, Bamfords presents "Cut! Eccentric Trading: Antiques and Fine Art from the Film Industry," set for the 15th of 2026. This niche sale zeroes in on high‑profile film artifacts such as original costume pieces, director’s chairs and limited‑edition lithographs, highlighting the growing appetite for tangible pieces of cinematic history.

Later in the year, Lacy Scott & Knight will host a dedicated film auction, featuring items that celebrate the medium's rich legacy, including rare lobby cards, behind‑the‑scenes photographs and signed director’s notes. The timing aligns with the spring‑summer auction window, positioning it as a key opportunity for bidders seeking to diversify their film collections.

Following that, PBR Auctions' Rock N Roll, Entertainment and Sports Memorabilia Unreserved Timed Auction will conclude in 2026 with a notable film segment. The lot list showcases autographed memorabilia from iconic films—think signed movie scripts, limited‑edition DVD sets and personal items from legendary actors—underscoring the crossover appeal between music and film fandoms.

Finally, Prop Store's Spring 2026 Entertainment Live Auction in Los Angeles will spotlight rare artifacts from the classic film "Jaws," including Quint's screen‑matched harpoon gun and original fishing rod prop. This live event reflects a broader trend of specialty auctions focusing on single‑title deep dives, catering to collectors who value provenance and narrative context. Across these varied sales, the common thread is a surge in demand for authentic film memorabilia, driven by both nostalgic collectors and new enthusiasts eager to own a piece of cinematic history.
