Yup, Rich is right, it is predominantly male. Now. But I do events you guys have never heard of (mainly because you're almost all over 50) like Cine-Bazar in Montreal where the gender divide is almost 50/50 and the average age is mid-20s. These people don't buy high-end stuff but they do collect. They just don't go to movie poster shows. They're movie buffs and graphic art fans. Whether they will continue to collect or do so at the rate past collectors have is anyone's guess. But if they do, within 10 years or so I'm convinced almost half of movie poster collectors will be women.
