I found a video by The Jurassic Collection (who as uploaded rare and obscure Jurassic Park stuff like cereal commercials and the documentary The Making of Jurassic Park) where she gave away that poster. According to her, they were special edition posters that were given only to stores and movie theaters and are "hard to come by".

The old Jurassic Park behind the scenes website gives the size of the animatronic from the first film as being 20 ft tall and 40 ft long while the video series by Stan Winston School gives it a height of 23-24 ft. The size of the animatronics for TLW - the male being reused for JP3 - are given in the book The Making of The Lost World: Jurassic Park as being 20 ft tall and 37 ft long, though I wouldn't put this on the size table due to both animatronics being built without tails unlike the first rex animatronic.

Despite what Jhayk' Sulliy believes about the film being first, I still think we should go with size tables. My reason is that in Jurassic World one of the Innovation Center's displays giving the length of the Mosasaurus as an underwhelming fifty-five feet (16 meters). This size is clearly smaller than the Mosasaurus we see in the film that is large enough to bite a great white shark in half and if we were to assume the size of the shark is six meters that would make the Mosasaurus larger than the blue whale.
