This is an original theatrical advance poster for the 2015 remake of Poltergeist, produced by Sam Raimi and directed by Gil Kenan.

The poster carries the desirable “VER. A” designation in the lower-left corner and features the haunting closet-door artwork from the film's advance advertising campaign. A young girl stands alone before the illuminated closet while ominous dolls and toys emerge from the darkness around her—a deliberate visual callback to the supernatural imagery that made the original Poltergeist one of the defining horror films of the 1980s.

Across the top, the campaign prominently advertises:

“FROM PRODUCERS OF THE GRUDGE AND EVIL DEAD COMES A TERRIFYING NEW VISION”

That connection to Sam Raimi, The Grudge and Evil Dead gives the poster additional crossover appeal for modern horror collectors.

The lower credits include MGM, Ghost House Pictures and 20th Century Fox branding as well as the “THIS SUMMER” advance-release wording rather than a specific theatrical date, which is why I would identify this as the Advance Version A rather than simply the standard final poster.

IMPORTANT DS / SS NOTE

There are documented original double-sided 27x40 examples of this exact 2015 advance closet design in the current collector market, including listings specifically identifying it as the “Double Sided Closet One Sheet Advance.”

However, your photos only show the front.

So for now I would not put “DS” in the listing title until the reverse side is confirmed.

If the back has the normal reversed/mirror theatrical image, upgrade the title immediately to:

POLTERGEIST 2015 Original Advance Movie Poster 27x40 DS Ver A Rolled Horror

That is the stronger SEO title.

CONDITION

VERY FINE / EXCELLENT DISPLAY CONDITION

This poster presents extremely well overall with deep blacks, excellent contrast and strong image clarity.

From the close-up photographs, I see:

• No fold lines
• No visible pinholes
• No major tears
• No significant paper loss
• Minor edge/handling wear, particularly along portions of the left edge
• A few very light surface/handling marks visible primarily because of the large black areas
• Minor natural edge waviness from rolled storage

The central artwork is exceptionally clean and the condition issues are minor and peripheral, making this a very strong display example.

The metal pieces shown in the photographs are magnets used only to hold the poster flat for photography and do not puncture the paper.

The photographs show the actual poster being offered and should be considered part of the condition description.

SHIPPING

Poster will be carefully protected and shipped rolled in a rigid heavy-duty poster tube.

It will never be folded for shipment.
