    Movie theaters put those special posters in a case that projects light from behind the poster. If the image on the back of the poster wasn’t a mirror image of the front, the projection would create two different images when viewed from passers-by. Because the image on the back matches up exactly with the image on the front, light is able to pass through the entire image to create a single, bright projection that grabs pedestrians as they pass.

    To enhance the image and keep it from washing out in a theater display frame that is back lit.
