:
Those are pretty bad examples though; they’re just the title of the overall series combined with a subtitle.

Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus is different from Final Fantasy, or The Spirits Within.
I'll give you that the Evil Dead one was a bad example, it's just the first that sprang to mind. Final Fantasy, however, had nothing to do with the games and that's a good example of contention over a title. Though I suppose you could liken that more to a cheap marketing hook, kind of like Monty Python's Jabberwocky, even though Monty Python had nothing to do with it.

I know there are better examples of modern media that do this, but I can't be arsed to think of any.
