scripts get passed around Hollywood, writers might show scripts to different studios.
some studios will pass on a script and then go and do their own version of the story, it has happened in the past.
Happens all the time...
Armageddon & Deep Impact
White House Down & Olympus Has Fallen
The Prestige & The Illusionist
Chasing Liberty & First Daughter
Antz & A Bug's Life
Dante's Peak & Volcano
Friends with Benefits & No Strings Attached
Turner & Hooch & K9
Mirror Mirror & Snow White and the Huntsman
Red Planet & Mission to Mars
Happy Feet & Surfs Up
Babe & Gordy
Tombstone & Wyatt Earp
The Wild & Madagascar
Truman Show & EDtv
and plenty more times...

shareAnswer: piggyback off another movie's marketing.
shareExcellent, you're a real movie hound!
shareThere are more then you think and some times the second or thired movie is downgraded to a TV movie of kept in the can for a few years or only released outside the US or all three
Wwhen Armageddon & Deep Impact came out a Movie called Meteor was downgraded to a TV Movie
When Keven Costmore's Robin Hood came out Patrick Bergan's Robin Hood was downgraded to a TV Movie and a third Robin Hood movie was canceled
Megamind & Despicable Me
shareBecause "they" aren't the same group of people.
Aside from monkey's list, why would THEY put two grocery stores in the same town? Why would THEY hang up TWO traffic lights facing the same way at an intersection? Why would THEY have two pies at the same picnic?
The Aylum film company does it on purpose to piggy back on a bigger budget film.
They do it for the lulz. They know they make crap (or, did. They're getting better.)
