There’s discussion about the lack of originality in Hollywood right now. It’s just understood at this point that the vast majority of wide releases are going to be sequels, remakes, reboots, adaptations, or spin-offs.
But what most of us have failed to notice is that not only are the films themselves over-familiar, but the poster designs too.
Twitter user @leesteffen proposed that there are really only 10 types of movies according to their poster designs, and he brought receipts.
1. “We’ve gotta find that bomb!”

However… this is Twitter! We know there are more movie posters out there, right?
Well, at least two more…
“Someday I’m gonna get out of this spooky town.”
