Film Poster
A film poster is a poster used to promote and advertise a film primarily to persuade paying customers into a theater to see it.

The text on film posters usually contains the film title in large lettering and often the names of the main actors. It may also include a tagline, the name of the director, names of characters, the release date, and other pertinent details to inform prospective viewers about the film. Film posters are often displayed inside and on the outside of movie theaters, and elsewhere on the street or in shops.
