Trivia & production notes
- Martin McDonagh was inspired to write the film after seeing real billboards in Texas around 1998 that accused a man of murder and criticized police inaction in the case, which belonged to James Fulton regarding his daughter Kathy Page who was killed in 1991.
- McDonagh spent approximately ten years developing the script before deciding to make the protagonist's mother—rather than the victim's father—the character putting up the billboards.
- Frances McDormand was written the role of Mildred specifically, though she initially resisted taking it because she felt too old for the part as written.
- Sam Rockwell's character Dixon was written expressly for him by McDonagh.
- McDormand drew inspiration from John Wayne's Western characters to portray Mildred, while Rockwell looked to Lee Marvin's performance in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance to create a character opposite to hers.
- Principal photography took place over 33 days beginning May 2, 2016, in Sylva, North Carolina.
- The three billboards were constructed by Allison Outdoor Advertising and placed in a pasture near Black Mountain, North Carolina, then covered when not actively filming because locals found them disturbing.
- After production ended, the billboards were purchased and dismantled, with the wood repurposed for a roof in Tennessee, rendering the original messages illegible.
- Carter Burwell composed the film's score, marking his third collaboration with director McDonagh after scoring In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths.
- The film premiered in competition at the Venice International Film Festival on September 4, 2017, before receiving a limited U.S. release on November 10, 2017.
