Author Topic: poster frames for home use (?) Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-19-2010 06:26 PM                        Brad, I also only have the Pirates Blu-ray because it was offered for free when I bought my PS3. No Zac Efron Blu-rays have ever been offered for free, so Phil is far guiltier than I am.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-19-2010 07:27 PM                     I find it really annoying how just about any store selling poster and picture frames -everyone from Wal-Mart and Hobby Lobby to the local frame shop has "standard" 27" X 40" poster cases, but not any in the actual 27" X 41" one-sheet size.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 01-19-2010 07:40 PM                     Walmart carries the full size poster frames that Suncoast carries for 19.99.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-19-2010 08:02 PM                     All the ones I've seen in Wal-Mart are 27" X 40" -an inch under budget on the one sheet's height.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-19-2010 08:08 PM                        EDIT: Nevermind. I made an idiot post. Not the first time and it won't be the last!  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 01-19-2010 08:21 PM                        Ok, thanks for the replies! I'll check out Wal-Mart (if I must make do with a 27X40 I will, I was hoping for a 27X41). quote: Jonathan Althaus Notice how the Kill Bill Vol 2 says "Final Cut", yet QT is working on another Kill Bill film and he says The Bride will be back. ...well, "final cut" for Bill. He said from the get go that he liked the idea of the story continuing with Vernita Green's daughter looking for revenge 10 or 15 years later.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 01-19-2010 08:36 PM                     All the one-sheets I have here measure 27x40 except Sony's which measure 39.5x40.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-19-2010 09:29 PM                        Jeremy: WTF are you talking about? Nearly-square onesheets? We need pictures. All the Sony's I have are the same as everyone else's, 27x40.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-19-2010 09:49 PM                     I measured one of the posters I have, The English Patient. It is 27" X 40". I'll have to look through the rest to see where I originally got that 27" X 41" measurement.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-19-2010 10:18 PM                     The measurement for "one sheet" was changed in 1985: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_sheet quote: "From Wikipedia" A one sheet is a specific size (typically 27" x 41" in size before 1985; 27" x 40" in size after 1985) of film poster advertising. Multiple one-sheets are used to assemble larger advertisements, which are referred to by their sheet count, including 24-sheet[1] billboards, and 30-sheet billboards. The term is also used as synonym for the poster artwork itself.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-19-2010 11:46 PM                     Most of the one sheets I have are from movies released after 1985 and at least a few are of the larger 27" X 41" variety. I guess some double-checking will be in order if I buy any of those inexpensive poster cases from "Wally World."  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 01-19-2010 11:53 PM                     Lol... Sorry Mike that's what I get for typing and talking to someone at the same time. Sony one sheets are 26.75"x39.75 (just measured again to make sure). It's really annoying too since we have to tape them down in our poster carriers in the outside display cases.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Jorgenson Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1002 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: Feb 2005 posted 01-20-2010 06:53 AM                        Bobby, I remember 41" too. I started working at theatres in '93 ...  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues.

Not sure about movie poster sizes specifically, but they have a huge selection of frames.  |  IP: Logged Mike Schindler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1039 From: Oak Park, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 01-20-2010 09:48 AM                     I get mine from Michaels craft stores. I think regular price is about $20, but they have so many sales and coupons that you never really have to pay more than about $10.  |  IP: Logged
