Japanese translations of Hollywood movie titles

Wednesday, March 19, 2014


Website RocketNews24 creates posters for Hollywood movies with their Japanese names.
As we’ve seen before, with many international releases the names of films can sometimes be vastly different from the original. The changes are made for a variety of reasons due to language, culture, or style. This begs the question: How much of an impact do these title changes make on the people who see them?

Just for fun, we took 19 movies from other countries that have had their names changed for Japanese audiences, translated them back to English and put them in their original posters.
