The Perks of Being a Psychopath

I was looking at the movie poster for the Colin Farrell film "Seven Psychopaths" and noticed that it was very bright green as you can see below.





It's a pretty straightforward and simple movie poster as the title is pretty straightforward as well. As I continued browsing through various movie sites (mostly IMDB), I came across a variation of the poster online. Or did I?

The movie poster for the Emma Watson film "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" shares almost the exact same tint of green, shows the main characters standing casually together and uses black font for the writing. I looked both movies up wondering if they were produced or distributed by the same company, but I couldn't find any connection between the two.

But interestingly enough they were both released on the same day, October 12, 2012 and the two movies performed about the same at the box office. "Seven Psychopaths" had a $15 million budget and grossed $15 million while "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" had a $13 million budget and grossed $17 million. The similarities probably end there, but they exist for what it's worth.
