Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters

Priest
Legion

I actually wouldn't mind seeing a sequel to either though I couldn't get into the tv spin off of legion.

It seems like a lot of the young adult book series' that have three or four books in the series often get made in the hopes that it'll be the next Hungar Games or Twilight series.

I never saw it but City of Ember seems like another that thought it would succeed as a series but fizzled out.

I wish Good Burger would have gotten a trilogy.

Mabuse

Third page and no one has mentioned Young Sherlock Holmes.

Like I said, I can't believe The Golden Compass won over Transformers.

M. Night Shyamalan's Unbreakable was supposed the be the first of a trilogy.

Think it would still make for a good television series.

Also add Enders Game to the list.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen...

TRON: Legacy

Change your noob settings and it'll seem less severe.

Man I wish that movie had found an audience, really liked it.

I'll add Master & Commander. This came out my senior year of college, right before I commissioned in the Navy. Many of my classmates had read the books and all of us enjoyed the movie and hoped it would be a series of movies, but it never found an audience either.

Northwest Passage (1940) was suppose to be the first of a series of movies.

At the end, it said "We'll be back!" Not so much...

I was a little late to the party but I absolutely love that film. Russell Crowe would like to do a sequel, but it's not happening. Sadly.

Ash Ketchum

Well, there was, sort of, 14 years later:

I loved Willow. A trilogy would have been great.

PSA: Do NOT read the sequel books....they were beyond awful.

I'm not sure it'll be good but Netflix is making a Lemony Snicket Series.

I don't see how this one qualifies. The post-credits scene merely introduces someone we already know he will encounter later in life.

The Last Starfighter

Thought there would be a sequel when

Obi-Wanma

We still might see one.

Really? I thought the visual effects in The Golden Compass were seamless and brilliant but in the Transformers it was just repetitive and boring.

Folks, I do not feel that films that actually got a sequel belong in this thread...Airplane, Percy Jackson, Tron, and a handful of others actually had sequels hit theaters, so while some of these films will not end up as a trilogy (whether they were intended to be a trilogy or with the hope that the sequel would do well enough to spawn yet another film in the series), which is a bummer for some folks, the fact remains that we are talking more about films like Unbreakable, which was intended to be a trilogy but never even had a 2nd film hit theaters/VOD, or Superman Returns, where for the longest time folks insisted that WB was going to move forward with a 2nd film, but never did.

Doctor Detroit end credits say "Doctor Detroit II: The Wrath of Mom" is coming. Though like the ones on Bubba Ho Tep and History of the World: Part I it's likely a joke.

Little Shop of Horrors (1986) ends with a shot of Audrey III smiling in a supposed hint towards a sequel.

The Incredibles ends as the family starts to battle "The Underminor" - so where's the movie?

Jason

Ang Lee's "Hulk", which got semi-rebooted as The Incredible Hulk, which opened the door for a sequel with the Leader that never happened.

Jason

I don't think that was necessarily sequel fodder, just their way of showing their adventures were really just starting.
