I see several references to "video clubs" on the posters. Which makes me think that these weren't official movies shown in cinemas, but VHS copies shown in "video clubs". There was something similar in pre-1989 Romania - some people gathering around a large-ish TV set in some kind of small-ish venue to watch a badly dubbed pirated copy of a popular Hollywood movie which wasn't shown in cinemas. In the eighties, most new Western films weren't officially available in Romania, and certainly not action or horror movies.
