David, the differences are obvious, but more likely than not, there’s a simple explanation. Australia is pretty large, and the movie was a big-budget release from a major studio. Now the posters MAY have been printed at a single facility, but there’s a good chance they were produced at more than one machine and/or at different times. For all I know, the movie was an immediate success, so additional posters may have been needed pretty fast.
