My first experience with movie posters was in the mid/late 90's when I got my first job at a local theater. As such, I have only ever seen the teaser, one sheet, and vinyl banner in action and then it dawned on me that, even though I am now familiar with half sheets, inserts, LC, WC, 3 sheet, 6 sheet, etc... I have never really known what their main purpose was or seen them in action...
I'm assuming the vinyl banner replaced the three sheet and six sheet but where would have been the main display for the insert and half sheet? Does anyone have any old photos of theater lobbies or other places where these would have been used? I can't even approach the international sizes honestly because I've never been to a movie theater in a foreign country except Beirut and they just had US one sheets hanging up there. But still, it would be cool to see pics from foreign theaters as well to see how they display or would have displayed their posters? (daybills too even though there seems to be a running gag about how horrible they are)
May be cool to see some sweet posters of history 'in action' as it were. Thanks in advance! (no pun intended)
