‘Twin’ movies on same/similar topic or in same genre where studios rushed to beat each other to release
No, not movies about actual twins.
I’m talking about when two studios have movies on the same topic or maybe in the same genre and each side wants to get it in theaters before the other (as a side note, the one that had less buzz often ends up being the ’winner,’ it seems).
Tombstone and Kevin Costner’s Wyatt Earp is probably the best example of what I’m talking about.
There was the case of Armageddon and Deep Impact (one about a comet threatening earth, the other an asteroid).
I can’t recall which ones, but I seem to remember a similar case with a couple of baseball films, and maybe Westerns?
Seems to happen every so often, figured I’d make a thread on the topic and see what the r/movies community could come up with.
