Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward adjective+noun composition: 'theatrical' (related to theatre) + 'poster' (a large printed advertisement), so its meaning as a poster for theatre or a theatrical show is directly derivable from the parts. This compositional pattern is common in English and other languages, so an average B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Theatrical poster comes from the old habit of putting a large poster with a theatrical picture on the outside of a theatre to tell people about a show. These bold pictures showed the actors or a key scene so people would know the play, so the term now means a large printed notice used to 'advertise' a theatre show.
