A mockbuster (also known as knockbuster or a drafting opportunity) is a movie created with the intention of piggy-backing on the publicity of a major movie with a similar title or subject or both. Mockbusters are often made with a low budget. Unlike films which are produced to capitalize on the popularity of a recent release by adopting similar genre or storytelling elements, mockbusters are generally produced concurrently with upcoming films, and released direct-to-video at the same time the mainstream film reaches theaters or video outlets. A mockbuster may be similar enough in title, packaging, etc. that consumers confuse it with the mainstream film it mimics, but their producers maintain that they are simply offering additional products for consumers who want to watch additional films
