What I learned = W.E. Smith did a shitload of Aussie posters and Simmons printed many of the best RKOs. Victory Publishing handled several Warner Bros releases...
Matt I can't supply images but what I can do is ,when time permits, is list around 50 other Chromo Print daybill titles printed between 1957 and early 1960.Just need to compile a master list from various listings i've compiled over the years on Chromo Print posters printed for individual film distributors.Hope to post them for you sooner than later.

A few comments -
The majority of the above titles were printed for MGM.
THe Mysterians daybill is interesting. RKO out of business when this film was released in Australia so it's interesting why Released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer wasn't printed on the poster.
From the posters themselves the printer's credits appeared in many forms
A Chromoprint
A Chromo print
A Chromo Print Litho Syd.
A Chrono Print Litho
A Chromo Print Sydney
Chromoprint, Sydney
Chromoprint Pty.Ltd.
Chromo Print Litho ...
Hope this helps.

Thinking about the images posted earlier I think that the titles need to be added to make the listings more complete.
BLITZKREIG
DATE WITH DISASTER
EYEWITNESS
GREEN MANSIONS
MYSTERIANS, THE
SIEGE OF PINCHGUT, THE
TOM THUMB
This makes a total of 78.
Any others?
Hondo
Matt your Australian one sheet of Miracle In Soho printed by A Chromo Print is great. The daybill of this title was printed by Robert Burton and is nowhere as good.
Hondo
In response to David's question, the best I can come up with as to the re-release date for Tarzan's New York Adventure is sometime between 1957 and very early 1960 when Chromo Print were printing MGM posters.
Hondo
Deadline Midnight 1959
Possibly was Chromo.Gigantis,The Fire Monster was released in Australia in 1960 the last year Chromo printed film posters in Australia. An image would be great and I will add this title to my Missing 1950's & 1960's hororr & sci-fi daybill images list.
Hondo
The Big Hunt Australian one sheet, as well as the daybill listed earlier, printed by Chromo Print.
Hondo
Another Chromo daybill is the 1958 film I Accuse! Worthwhile seeking out and viewing the movie if yoo haven't viewed it.
Hondo
I have found names of some more Chromo Print daybill posters .Have you enough titles already to work on getting images for or would you like additional names from time to time to assist you in seeking out additional images?
Hondo
Keep the names coming Hondo.
Happy to assist.
.
ANGRY HILLS, THE ( duotone ) MGM
ANDY HARDY COMES HOME ( duotone ) MGM
I have never sighted colour versions of these titles.
Hondo
I have just found a Carry On Constable 3 sheet by Chromo Print. I'm sure there are others but I will let you know as I come across them.
