Why do two movies with virtually the same plot always come out around the same time?
 

Knocked Up and Juno

Volcano and Dante's Peak

The Truman Show and EdTV

Armageddon and Deep Impact


This is fun, come up with more.

Back to the Future and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure... okay, they were a few years apart, but still...

Hows about 16 Blocks, and at least the first half of Die Hard 4? Now they even had the same actor in the same role!

Antz and A Bug's Life

Turner & Hooch and K-9

Braveheart and Rob Roy

ahhhh Wyatt Earp and Tombstone

How about all the shitty "scary" movies that come out, like The Eye.

The Cave and The Descent

The Illusionist and Magicians (even though, as I understand it, one was drama, the other a comedy... I really ought to check out Magicians too, Mitchell and Webb are amazing)

Never heard of Magicians, but The Prestige came out shortly after The Illusionist.

camp nowhere and heavyweights

What do Juno and Knocked Up have in common other than a character being pregnant.

27 Dresses and Cloverfield.

Since they both have female characters.

American History X and Pi

I read or watched something about this on TV. And usually they make a lot of money this way. Maybe to give an alternative or something.

There is like 6.86 between them, what the fuck?

:lol:

watt

o rly

Finding Nemo/Shark Tale

Spiderman/Superman Returns :shifty:

Wyatt Earp and Tombstone is the most obvious to come to mind

Also Goodfellas and Godfather Part III, absolutely different takes on the mafia story but still

Same story... woman becomes unwittingly pregnant, and is then followed through to the birth.

One tells the male perspective, the other tells the womans.

Jurassic Park and Carnosaur

Dante's Peak and Volcano

Rush Hour and Knock Off

Transformers and Transmorphers

Blade III and Vampirez

I can expand this list exponentially next time I go to Blockbuster.

Also, Pixar / Dreamworks are the worst for this shit, since they seem to do it entirely on purpose. Shark's Tale / Finding Nemo, Madagascar / The Wild, Antz / Bug's Life... and sometimes you'll get some random third party CGI movie jumping in the mix, like Happily N'ever After, Over the Hedge and Surf's Up.

Lol marks

African Hoes 3 / Big Black Booty Sluts 9

Other than that most basic plot outline, they're 2 very different films, in tone, performance, humour, characters, etc..

I enjoyed Surfs Up:$

So are most of the others mentioned. There's no denying that two "woman becomes unexpectedly pregnant, we follow how this affects her life, future and relationship with the father as the main plot point of a comedy" movies, released just months apart, calls for a comparison of this nature.

Gingerdead Man and Mystic River
Dollman vs. Demonic Toys and Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys
Who's Your Caddy and The Departed
