That Coraline poster rules for actually contrasting purple and blue, which is extremely uncommon and, at least for me, immediately jumps out as not being a typical movie poster or maybe not even a movie poster at all until you look at it closely.
The Babylon Vin Diesel poster somewhere earlier in this thread represents the exact opposite of this.
fake edit: Actually, check out the posters for nearly every film Tim Burton either produced or directed for awesome posters that do not rely on the Orange/Blue contrast.

Apparently, both red = orange and yellow = orange, according to examples here.
Lots of good examples being drowned out by the lame ones.

seriously gaf
They're colors that go well together and the combination occurs all the time in real life. Half of these are just pictures of orange dirt with a blue sky, or something called a freaking sunset. You know, that thing that happens every night and has been used in art for thousands of years?
I expected something more mindblowing, like when you first realized that every comedy movie in the last 10 years has used BIG RED TEXT.

You people claiming Color Theory have no proof that these colors are ACTUALLY complimentary. It is just a theory.

Complementary Colors are everywhere...
The overall saturation levels, contrast, brightness/darkness, etc.. play a role in subduing the obviousness of it sometimes but it's common. Coraline is using a lot of Split Complementary colors in the poster, that's why it's rather unique.

I was going to post about the Coraline one. I love how its split and is tied together by the orange title. Just cool attention to detail, just like the movie.
