LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Michael Curtiz’s best director Oscar for the movie classic “Casablanca” is going up for auction this week and is expected to fetch $2.5 million to $3 million, auctioneers Nate D. Sanders said on Monday. The Academy Award won in 1943 by Curtiz, who died in 1961, will be sold on June 28 by the LA company. Online bidding, which opened last week, had already reached more than $369,000 on Monday, well past the reserve price that was not disclosed. In 07, the LA-based American Film Institute named it as the third best film of the past 100 years.
