5 Times Two Great Movies Were Released In Theaters On The Same Day

By Anadya Narain

March 31, 1999 - 'The Matrix' & '10 Things I Hate About You'

These two films don't have a lot in common - but fans who seek out some silly romance as well as some sci-fi revolution could enjoy pairing the two together. 

July 18, 2008 - 'The Dark Knight' & 'Mamma Mia!'

The brooding Batman movie contrasts heavily with the light-hearted singing and dancing of Donna and the Dynamos, making these movies a strange choice for a double feature. 

October 5, 2018 - 'Venom' & 'A Star is Born'

A Star is Born and Venom were perfect opposites. They appeal to different sensibilities, so fans that had no interest in one of these movies likely were excited for the other.  

December 19, 1986 - 'Little Shop of Horrors' & 'Platoon'

 A funny movie musical about a talking plant definitely scratches a very different itch than a depressingly realistic war movie.

July 15, 1988 - 'Die Hard' & 'A Fish Called Wanda'

While Die Hard remains more well-known thanks to the ensuing franchise, A Fish Called Wanda is an acclaimed gem with its own group of fans.
