Eraser and Mission Impossible had a similar plot as well.
I prefer Leviathan to the Abyss. I havent watched Deep Star 6 since the 80s.

Batman v Superman and Captain America: Civil War, 2016Oh yeah, I remember that. WB announced BvS and then MCU decided to copy WB and changed Cap 3 to IM v Cap.

I don't think they copied exactly since the Civil War was a part of the comics anyway. It was just a mere coincidence that both were released the same year.

Columbus isn't surprising since it was the 500th anniversary.

Also, since when was Marvel not going to do a Civil War movie?

Dr Strangelove and Fail Safe came out so close together because production of both was inspired by the Cuban Missile Crisis which caused people to question leaders and their ability to control of events.

I’m not necessarily surprised by, say, two magician movies coming out at the same time—that can be coincidence—but A Bug’s Life and Antz? Infamous and Capote? Shazaam and Kazaam? OK, OK, I’m kidding with the last one, but the point stands. Supposedly, Pixar and DreamWorks both ripped off each other for A Bug’s Life and Antz; the idea behind the former was “…well-known within the animation community,” but DreamWorks’s Jeffrey Katzenberg claimed Antz was developed independently. Interesting stuff. (Full disclosure: I’ve never seen either movie!) I think much of it is because of what rateater said, studio spies and fallouts. (Katzenberg had worked for Disney previously and brought over several Disney ideas with him to DreamWorks.) But how does that explain Capote and Infamous? I’ve never seen anything about cross-pollination there. I suppose it’s coincidence, but it’s fairly remarkable coincidence. Good point about DreamWorks, Salzmank Thanks for your thoughts

I was set on seeing The Abyss in next 2 days....How did you like it? I have seen Leviathan and thought it was Ok though many people complain about it. The Abyss seems to be the most popular of those three. I liked it best, but I'm not too critical of movies.
I just finished The Abyss today. I had issues with it but overall I enjoyed the movie. To me the positive side of the movie was its length. Believe me there won't be another person who hates long movies as much as I do but the the length was appropriate for this one. The underwater scenes needed to be long and they were beautifully shot. The negative side for me was excessive optimism that this movie depicted. I don't really dislike movies with bright endig but this one overdid it. Overall, I will say I liked it.

The unofficial trio of casual relationship/maybe more (?) romcoms, Love and Other Drugs, No Strings Attached, and Friends With Benefits. The first one released out of the three was Love and Other Drugs, and it was the best.
