Yes, 27" X 40" is a "Full Sheet" traditional movie poster.
There have been a ton of sizes used. Insert, half sheet, lobby card, etc...

thanks for that.
now does anyone know how i use a frame from after effects and export it to photoshop so i can use it for my poster?
basically i have made an intro and i can only achieve the look via after effects various plug ins, so i want to keep the look and use it in my poster.. any ideas?
Shrink the work area to the single frame that you wish to export. Next Composition>Add to Render Queue. Click where it says lossless. Change format to a JPEG or PNG sequence. (this is why you must shrink it to one frame otherwise it'll export every frame as a single picture). Choose where you want to save it in the Output Module. Click Render and you're done. Import into PS as usual. But the pixel dimensions won't fit a poster, although I assume you know this..
Thanks guys, I got it now, I actually did this before but with an old project sometimes we just forget we already know how to do things, I would only have needed the text anyway so It's fine in regards to importing and keeping quality.
Thanks again for the help
Thanks again for the help
AE has a render frame option.. you dont have to render work area like that... plus its a Photoshop file with layers!

Render and export a single frame of a composition
You can export a single frame from a composition, either as an Adobe Photoshop (PSD) file with layers intact or as a rendered image. This is useful for editing files in Adobe Photoshop, preparing files for Adobe Encore, creating a proxy, or exporting an image from a movie for posters or storyboards.
The Photoshop Layers command preserves all layers from a single frame of an After Effects composition in the resulting Photoshop file. Nested compositions up to five levels deep are preserved in the PSD file as layer groups. The PSD file inherits the color bit depth from the After Effects project.
In addition, the layered Photoshop file contains an embedded composite (flattened) image of all the layers. This feature ensures that the file is compatible with applications that don’t support Photoshop layers; such applications display the composited image and ignore the layers.
A layered Photoshop file saved from After Effects may look different from the frame viewed in After Effects if the frame uses features that Photoshop doesn’t support. For example, if the frame contains a blending mode that isn’t available in Photoshop, a blending mode that most resembles it is substituted in the layer, but the embedded composite image (viewable only by applications that don’t support Photoshop layers) looks the same. Alternatively, you can render the frame using the Composition > Save Frame As > File command to export a flattened and rendered version of the file to the PSD format.
PSD files generated by Save Frame As > Photoshop Layers have the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 ICC color profile embedded if color management is disabled for the project (the project's working color space is set to None). If color management is enabled for the project (the project's working color space is set to something other than None), then PSD files generated by Save Frame As > Photoshop Layers have the color profile embedded that corresponds to the project's working color space. (See Color management and color profiles.)
Go to the frame that you want to export so that it is shown in the Composition panel.
Do one of the following:
To render a single frame, choose Composition > Save Frame As > File. Adjust settings in the Render Queue panel if necessary, and then click Render.
To export a single frame as an Adobe Photoshop file with layers, choose Composition > Save Frame As > Photoshop Layers.
To change the default output settings for the Save Frame As > File command, change the settings for the Frame Default render settings template (See Create, edit, and manage render settings templates.)
