is there a way to get movie posters from the kino?

It really depends on the cinema. The smaller neighbourhood ones like the Filmkunst 66 in Steglitz or the Eva Lichtspiele in Lichterfelde are usually the most relaxed about it. I've gotten a few from the counter at the Arsenal by just asking nicely and they didn't even charge me, though it's polite to offer a small donation to their tip jar. The multiplexes like CinemaxX tend to have strict policies where the posters get sent back to the distributor, so you're wasting your time there.

honestly the best time is right after the movie ends on the last showing of the night. my friend worked at the delphi and said they'd just toss everything in the bin before closing. if you catch the staff while they're taking stuff down they're usually chill about letting you grab one. just be cool about it and maybe buy a ticket first

yeah you can usually ask at the counter, especially on mondays when they swap out the aushang. some smaller independents like delphi or babylon will just hand them over if they've got extras, but the big uci or cineplex chains are stricter about it

Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.

if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point

honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
