Here is the teaser poster for the upcoming movie called ‘9‘ by Focus Features.
They are obviously embracing mobile marketing in a big way by making the QR code the center piece of the poster. I’m guessing they are trying to create a buzz and play on peoples inquisitiveness.

I kinda think you need a bit more than mobile phone content to bother going up to more than one poster. Maybe a draw for a prize or free premiere tickets would be a more solid incentive (as well as the mobile content).
