Development takes a long time, so someone steals a screenwriter's spec at one studio while the screenwriter sells his script to another, then they race to get theirs out first.

Not all movies made in studios are their A pictures, some are just filler for that year's release schedule. You can't put all your eggs in one basket. These type of rip-off/coincidence movies are their b-team.

I read an article lately saying that it's because they come from one script, and sometimes developed into two different ones when it doesn't sell as-is.
>>
the scripts exist in the studio for years
they hear one studio is about to make their "fuck buddies" movie so they other company tries to rush their version out first

Or if it Dreamworks is just bunch of assholes who are mad at Disney and try to steal their thunder

Observe and Report | Paul Blart Mall Cop - 2009

Studios see an idea, run their take on it (one is almost always started late and rushed out in shit quality to beat the other one to the theater), then move on to the next.

They love matching penises at the box office with outwardly identical movies.

Both of those movies were good. They really are the same thing and Wick is better but I recommend both to everyone in the thread

Since everyone else is being an autist, I'll actually answer you OP. It's called a mirror movie. Studios purposely do this. It's meant to be a safe choice where they figure that there's obviously enough interest for one studio to do it, so they should cash in on the sentiment as well. Even better, they have a chance of being the better of the two and taking home the good reviews and dosh from it. It's basically a low risk way to ensure you're on the level with rival studios

Cameron Diaz is not a floozy!

Also to OP studios commission audience studies to see what people might be interested in in terms of movie plots and themes.
Then make movies based on the results of these.
>>
>>70873387
Studios have a bunch of scripts laying around with no real date for when they're going to use them. They will sometimes start production on one because another studio producing something similar.

to add onto this
often studios will have similar scripts to one another, as they gather scripts over years and years that go unused, and when a rival studio releases their version of the "friends with benefits" script, another studio will look to do the same

because film studios buy up tons of scripts, but almost never use them.

when they hear a rival studio is putting out a movie similar to one of their scripts, they decide to make their similar script into a movie as well. because its either throw the not that special script in the trash, or turn it into a movie, using the similar movie the other studio made as free marketing.

>"i liked no string attached"
>"hmm friends with benefits? looks good"

if you need me to elaborate further let me know.
not in the biz, but my dad sold a screenplay one time. not his actual job, was just feeling creative
