I am not a huge fan of sequels, and I can think of many movies over
the years (Animal House for one) which at the time I thought would
become a franchise, but the filmmakers were wise enough to quit while
they were ahead. I've often felt if Batman hadn't come along that Tim
Burton may have wound up doing a sequel to Beetlejuice. And there
were some movies where I felt that based on the film title the
filmmakers were trying to start a film franchise (Remo Williams: The
Adventure Begins is the one that first comes to mind) and the first
movie never caught on with fans and they were unable to make a sequel.
