Yes, there are people that display that size. There are also people who are simply collectors with an interest in anything on a given title.
This poster looks a little wider than most 24 sheets I have encountered. I have seen these posters referred to as "poster panels." Obviously they are not for everyone, but I think that one can state that, with a some exceptions these posters are title for title the scarcest of any American paper. Yes, there have been several SPELLBOUNDS and GOLDFINGERS and CLOCKWORK ORANGES. But these are the exception that "proves the rule" as they say. Most of these 24 sheets were discarded by the exchanges because these would only have been used in first-run applications. After that there was little demand for them. Since they were big and bulky one can only assume that the exchanges just dumped them. I suspect that this was the same for all exterior billboards advertising whatever. While I'm not prepared to say that this is the best poster design for the U.S. campaign for this film, the design does certainly exploit the wide format well.
