Some "End of the World" Movies

These are being released next year, or have recently been released. Is it just a coincidence that these types of films are coming out so close to 2012?

2012 - from the guy who gave us Independence Day
2012 - written by the guy who gave us the Communion book
City of Ember - survivors in an underground city
The Road - based on a post-apocalypse book by Cormac McCarthy
Autumn - all of us become zombies
Deadland - post WW3, sounds like Mad Max Redux
Wasteland - our pollution causes everything to die
The Last Man - sounds like I Am Legend

I guess that means lots of comedies will top the movie charts?
