Global Movie Poster Size Guide

These are the generally recognized sizes for movie posters globally. However, there are always exceptions to the rule, which is why we give both a poster type and the physical dimensions. Note that we give the dimensions to the poster itself. Linen backed posters may have a larger linen border that extends beyond the poster area. ALWAYS re-measure the poster prior to framing.
