Score: 2018 48x70 Bus Shelter poster! How the heck do I frame this?

A buddy of mine who works for the Alamo Drafthouse gifted this poster to me this weekend as a surprise Christmas gift. I was floored! He said they never got around to displaying it and it was going to be thrown out anyway. Apparently this is meant to be displayed in those bus stop frames, and I have no idea how to go about getting a frame this size without dropping $400. Any ideas?

It’s got some dents, but it’s such a large and unwieldy poster I feel like there’s not much can be done to avoid that. I’m extremely happy with it, just hope it doesn’t sit in a cardboard box for the next 10 years.

Get a screwdriver and head to a bus stop :wink:

I made all my own 27x41 poster frames with a table saw. You could easily make the frame yourself like that. However getting a piece of glass or plexi glass that size is gonna cost no matter what.

I used to hang huge posters of a similar size from bands like Soundgarden, with 4 paper clips attached gently at the top evenly spaced. 4 nails and you are set. Will look great and simple to do.
