Disagree. Don't know where/how JW came up with this, but not only is it not a
term in general use, it doesn't make any sense either. Just do the math; a
'two sheet', if such an animal exists, would be 41x54, (or I suppose 27x82),
NOT 40x60, i.e. the size of two onesheets, analogous to 3sheet, 6sheet, etc.
'Approximately' the same size isn't close enough, in my book. Might as well
call a quad a 1sheet, if you consider this kind of approximation 'good enough'.
A 40x60 is just that. Calling it a 2sheet is misleading.

I suspect that's correct. So where did the term come from, hmm? Sounds to me
like someone just made it up.

There is no mention of "two-sheet" in the LAMP article on
movie poster sizes, which is exhaustive. I personally never heard of or saw the
term "two-sheet" used until Jon and some other people started tossing it around
a few years ago. But I don't have a problem with calling 40x60
card-stock Drive-In posters "two sheets" -- it's an appropriate name. I just
don't think you'll ever find the term used in a studio pressbook to describe a
40x60 is all (now watch somebody prove me wrong...).
But we've got a nickname for every other poster size, so
there's no reason the 40x60 shouldn't have one and two-sheet is appropriate,
given that it is roughly twice the size of a one-sheet.

Zeev:
I have this information out of Jon Warren's book listed under other
sizes. If I am incorrect than this is incorrect information in Jon's "Movie
Poster Price" I-Guide Book. In the book it states "Two Sheet or 40" x 60"
American silkscreen process on heavy stock valued at 100% to 300% of the one
sheet price. This is in the 5th edition.
I use the 45" x 59" subway interchangeably.
Best, Tom Pennock .
