Opening-night poster giveaways have become a recent trend as studios and theaters look to pack screenings with excited movie fans. This summer has already seen midnight/early screening posters for Iron Man 3 and Star Trek Into Darkness.

This weekend, sees the release of the buddy-cop movie The Heat and select Alamo Drafthouse theaters will be giving away this special collectors' poster on Thursday night:

Meanwhile, Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim has been busy releasing a bunch of posters over the past couple of months and today we get a look at the IMAX midnight poster courtesy of Hero Complex.

Pacific Rim opens July 12.
