Summary
A brief discussion about the font used in the Priscilla (2023) movie poster. The author identifies the font as likely based on OPTI Excelsior Script (with modifications), corrects a previous claim that it was open source (noting it's abandonware with ethical and technical issues), and provides a visual comparison of the poster lettering against the font.

Neither of its two weights is a match.
The OPTI fonts are not open source, and are better described as abandonware.
They should best be avoided, for ethical as well as for technical reasons – see for example the broken connections in the resetting below.
I've removed the bit about 'open source', to avoid spreading incorrect information.
