Written before Open Water was released in 2003, and keeping its original title in most of Europe and Australia. To capitalize on Open Water's success, it was renamed Open Water 2: Adrift or simply Open Water 2 in the United States and Germany. This renaming was done despite the only shared theme being people stranded in the middle of the ocean.
