I usually goto the theater for a specific show, usually buy the ticket online ….
BUT, there are times, such as when I didn’t get a ticket ahead of time and my show is sold out, where I’m in front of the theater deciding whether to go in. It I see an interesting looking movie, I might see that. If the food advertising worked, it would have the opposite of the intended effect “why don’t we goto a restaurant instead ?”

How do you know your show is sold out?

There’s usually a signat the ticket booth. Maybe it’s alone, maybe title only,maybe it’s only visible from being at the window …. It’s generally not useful to pick an unexpected/unknown movie.
A good movie poster shows a snapshot of the genre, the basic plot, the main characters, all of which I might use to pick a movie

So you’re saying that you get to the ticket booth without being able to see what movies are playing there?
Those movie posters in the OP do all that as much as you can in a single portrait style image.
