What do movie theaters do with their movie posters when a movie is no longer playing at the theater?

KK: What do movie theaters do with their movie posters when a movie is no longer playing at the theater?
You know the movie posters that some theaters still post outside each theater at a movie theater.
Can I ask for one or can they give it to me at a low price when a movie is done playing?
What do they do with them?

I think they give them to employees

You could ask and see what they say

Answer by funkdarryl
give off to their employees or throw them away

Answer by Tracey Love
Idk but I know they remove the poster. You should ask them when the movie stops playing or get your own on ebay. 🙂

They give their employees first pick.

If you ask (and I have on several occasions) they are more than willing to give them away after their employees have picked through them. That’s how I get my movie posters 😀

If no one claims them, they are thrown away.

I went to see the movie Beastly yesterday, and the employees were being really rude to my friends and myself…. All we asked for was a movie poster. I guess if it is still in theaters they don’t have extra posters…. Good luck on getting a poster if that is why you were asking this question… Honestly I agree with everyone else.
