ELI5: Why is that near identical movies are often released at the same time (The Illusionist/Prestige, Armageddon/Deep Impact, Wyatt Earp/Tombstone, Ed TV/Truman Show)

The same reason that Home Depot and Lowe's always pop up near each other. One guy gets a whiff of another studio doing a movie and they go, "WE'LL MAKE THAT SAME MOVIE BUT BETTER AND STEAL ALL THEIR MONIES!" This makes no sense, but movie people are extraordinarily stupid, so it makes sense to them.
