It has happened before and more than once. I just can't remember.

Yeah, it's happened with quite a few movies. Off the top of my head there was Armageddon/Deep Impact, The Illusionist/Prestige, ANTZ/A Bug's Life, Mission to Mars/Red Planet, Dante's Peak/Volcano.

Also Robin Hood and Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves, both released in 1991.

I'm too lazy to check, but I think two movies about Wyatt Earp, but they might be off by 6 months of one another.

I always wondered about this too. Does this happen because:
a) Ideas get pitched to different companies and get stolen.
b) Ideas in the movie business get generated by a computer program and they all use the same version.
c) Ideas get developed on decadent parties and movie producers don't remember the next morning but basically think anything written on a paper napkin is a good idea
d) Hollywood works like a recycling center / compost heap where ideas just resurface as the same beep every few years?
e) Hollywood uses some illegal website to download cracked "ideaz"?
f) It's destiny, and everything happens for a reason

You are so wrong about Robin Hood. What other Robin Hood are you talking about?

Wow you really don't understand the topic of this thread. Thor and Captain America are two completely different movies! Now if they made two Thor movies yes you could mention it.

They're not about a similar subject though. And they're made by the same studio, and part of the same universe, as opposed to competing films. You've definitely completely missed the topic of this thread.
