No, you wouldn't be able to claim it as your own. The whole change-by-x-percentage is a pure myth.

That percentage thing is an urban legend type thing.
There is some protection for fan art but, it's best not to try to claim someone else's work as your own, even if you re-drew it.

If the designer was hired by the studio who produced the film to design the poster, they're allowed to use the images however they want, unless the studio requests otherwise. It's not a good idea to trace a photograph outright. You're better off drawing the image by hand based off a photo, then trace your drawing in Illustrator.
*Not a lawyer. I could be wrong.

However when you are learning there is no issue with copying directly from an image. You just can't use it for anything other than a learning tool.

Sketcher, the Simplify thing makes a mess.
It doesn't hold curves properly even at its highest setting. You end up adjusting too often.
The number of points is fine in this instance. Yes, he has too many in a few places. It's always best to define an arc using only 3 if you can (compound arcs sometimes require 4). The increase in file size at this level is minimal.
Too many points is when someone sends you a die path made in Photoshop set to 1/2 pixel dimension on a ragged edge. That is too many points.
