The reference is from "Merchant of Venice" by William Shakespeare. A "pound of flesh" is required for penance for wrongdoing. Seven people were killed in the car wreck that he feels he is responsible for, thus he owes seven pounds of flesh.
Also, the director, Gabriele Muccino, stated when asked why the movie is named "Seven Pounds" that the weight of the script weighed seven pounds.
It is a disclaimer that covers their butt, so to speak. In a fictional film if the main character has a dog named Max and gets chicken pox when he is seven and you had a dog named Max and got chicken pox when you were seven, its a coincedence. The film was not based on you.
The movie is titled Seven. It is a horrible movie.

The credits do not list a character named 'Hannah'.
No, because later on he donated his heart to his love interest.
Seven tenths of a pound is calculated by multiplying 0.7 by 1 pound. This results in 0.7 pounds, or 11.2 ounces, since there are 16 ounces in a pound. Thus, seven tenths of a pound is equivalent to 11.2 ounces.

According to Will Smith it is a reference to the William Shakespeare play "The Merchant of Venice" in which one of the characters is required to give a pound of his own flesh to repay a debt. Ben Thomas, the lead character in the movie "Seven Pounds" negligently caused the death of seven people and is trying to repay this debt by rescuing seven people; giving up his own life and wealth in the process. One "pound" for each person.
Well, darling, there are 14 ounces in a pound, so if we do a little math magic, seven eighths of a pound would be 12.25 ounces. So, there you have it, 12.25 ounces in seven eighths of a pound. Voilà!

There actually is no such phrase. People using it are confusing the phrase "a pound of flesh" from the Shakespeare play The Merchant of Venice with the title of the 2008 Will Smith movie "Seven Pounds" In the Shakespeare play the pound of flesh is the penalty for defaulting on a loan. You default on your mortgage and the bank gets your arm. The Will Smith movie is not about defaulting on a loan, but about making up for your mistakes. In the film Smith's character must help seven people to make up for the seven people he accidentally killed.
