Probably if it looks like a 34 year old poster.
Movie posters/lobby cards aren't printed on conservation-quality pH neutral paper with archival pigments.
They are designed to last a couple of months and manufactured as cheaply as possible to fulfill that requirement.
If it looks too new to reflect its actual age, most likely it is a phony.
Read False Impressions by Thomas Hoving for additional insight into the world of art forgery. The basic concepts will apply to something pedestrian like movie posters.

LOL, that Terminator poster has a logo for DTS, a digital theatre sound technology that emerged nine years (1993) after the film's 1984 debut.
Sure, you can use digital movie posters to create a good ambience for your mancave, home theatre, whatever. Nothing wrong with that.
I could load up on rock concert poster replicas. However, the only ones I have are the ones from The Fillmore (San Francisco) that are handed out to attendees at the end of the show. The colors change, they undergo damage, etc. BUT I WAS THERE.

I think that the "This Theatre Features DTS etc." and "Coming Soon" sections are part of the frame, not of the poster.
