These Movie Pairs Were Total Twins And Even Came Out At The Same Time

It’s obvious to film buffs that when a blockbuster premieres, there’s always a similar movie coming around the same time. But that’s Hollywood for you. Seems like these twin films seem to compete with each other at the box office. But, in the end, there can be only one. Right?

Let’s Play Ball

In 1993’s “Rookie Of The Year,” an accident turns a 12-year-old into the best pitcher ever and joins the Chicago Cub. In 1994’s “Little Big League,” a 12-year-old kid inherits a baseball team, and has to figure out how to get them to win for a change.

1993’s “Tombstone” and 1994’s “Wyatt Earp” had two things in common. They both centered around the epic legend of Wyatt Earp, who brought order to a lawless town. They both did great at the box office.

Harvard On Our Minds

In the 2002 drama “Orange County,” a high school student tries to prove he’s smart after his counselor sends in the wrong transcripts and keeps him from going to Harvard.

In “Stealing Harvard,” a man gets his friend to resort to petty crimes to raise $30,000 for his niece who wants to go to Harvard.

When Movies Erupt

In 1997, the box office heated up when “Dante’s Peak,” and “Volcano,” twin films about erupting volcanoes spewing colossal amounts of deadly lava and threatening massive loss of life, went head to head. Both movies performed relatively well, and are musts for disaster film buffs.
