Does anyone know where you can buy movie theater promotional posters and banners?

I'm looking for a Spider-Man 3 banner that I saw in my local movie theater. After calling the theater, they told me they generally put them in storage and keep them. So, the option of purchasing one from the theater is out of the question. Can someone suggest some places to check besides eBay?
