Reply to comment by Anx1etyD0g in TIL that Al Pacino boycotted the 45th academy awards in 1973, because despite having more screen time than Marlon Brando, he was nominated for best supporting actor and not best actor. by VengefulMight

I'd say putting Vito Corleone on posters was an obvious marketing choice. His is an instanlty more interesting and iconic image than Michael's. Also, Brando was a big star, Pacino wasn't. I don't think it counts as who the protagonist is. It's clearly Michael.
