* FranchiseOriginalSin: The 2005 DirectToVideo adaptation of ''Literature/TheWarOfTheWorlds'' made a surprising amount of money, mostly through serendipity that it was a very faithful adaptation that happened to coincide with [[Film/TheWarOfTheWorlds2005 a far more lavish one]]. Seeing quick dollar signs in their eyes, video rental stores bought The Asylum's cheaper movie in bulk, [[TheMockbuster hoping to make a quick buck from moviegoers who couldn't tell the difference]] (Blockbuster Video alone purchased a quarter of a million copies), which brought The Asylum enough money that ''they'' started seeing quick dollar signs in their eyes, quickly leading to their current notoriety for ''intentional'' mockbusters.

** A few months later, this was subverted when Creator/WarnerBros sued The Asylum, with [[http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/cotown/la-et-ct-age-hobbits-blocked-20121210,0,6595906.story similar results to Universal's suit]], over ''Film/TheHobbit'' mockbuster ''Age of the Hobbits''. The Asylum film had to be renamed ''Clash of the Empires'' and would not see the light of day for more than two months. ''An Unexpected Journey'' got far more critical respect and was a major box office hit vis-à-vis ''Battleship''.

** It's even better if you watch certain movies back-to-back, as stock footage reuse is done across movies as well. ''The Terminators'' main control building is a Japanese government building in ''Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus''; not to mention the sonar/radar/space GPS screens being exactly the same.
