5 Fantastic Chinese Movie Poster Rip-OffsHollywood's piracy problems in China include advertising movies, too.6:36 PM PDT 3/13/2012 by Eriq Gardner 

Columbia Pictures

 When most people think about piracy in China, they think about the street vendor in

Shanghai who sells bootleg c opies of DVDs. A Chinese website has made an entertaining

case that the Chinese film industry is copying much more. Wenxuecity.com recently took a

look at some Chinese movie posters and took a stab at identifying the source of theirinspiration. Here's our five favorites...

 Eaters (2009) vs. Daddy Day Camp (2007)

Here's the full list (http://www.wenxuecity.com/news/2012/03/05/1666075.html) of copycat

movie posters from China.

 A new trade deal (htt p://www .holly woodreporter.c om/news/what -chinas-trade-deal-m eans-

2 9 6 9 9 0 ) with China, which lifts the 20 films-per-year import quota by granting 14 more 3D

or IMAX titles per year, could solve some of this. Hollywood will have reason to post their

own movie posters around Shanghai.
