Movie poster

So I don't know if this is the proper board for my question, but I thought 'display' was the closest match. Anyway, I am looking to buy a double-sided poster off of allposters.com, and I wanted to know if there are any displays like the ones in movie theaters that are available to the public. The movie theater uses double sided posters because with the illumination coming from the display behind the poster, it gives it a better effect, I think is how that works. I don't know. Does anybody else?

They don't use double sided posters. The poster display is in a light box, hence the lit up effect comes from the box, not the poster. It would make no sense atall to use double sided, as both movies would be around the same time.

You obviously don't know what you are talking about. The OP isn't refering to two different posters on opposite sides, but to the same image on both sides (positive image on one side, reverse image on the opposite side). Having the image on both sides makes it so that there is less light bleed through darker inked areas of the poster.

I have seen them come up for sale on eBay.

I have no good reason and suspect that monkeys possess some sort of soul. Geode
