movie posters
Cinema lobby art
Movie posters are printed advertisements for films, typically displayed in theater lobbies, on billboards, and online.
They feature imagery from the film along with its title, stars, and release date.
Vintage movie posters have become collectibles: The original Casablanca poster sold for over half a million dollars.
The style has influenced graphic design broadly—any promotional image with dramatic lighting and floating heads might be called very movie poster.
