Lord of the Rings barely counts, because not only were all three books out and classics before the movies started (obviously), but the three movies were basically worked on at the same time. It’s nuts, but somehow they managed to do it.
So it’s not like they released the first, got crazy hype, and then phoned everyone up and said “electric Boogaloo, you in?”. They’d already shot most of the second and third by the time the first came out, as I recall.
Also I really liked Glass Onion 😛

Like bttf 1 and 2 where filmed back to back and then released a year apart from each other. That was ambitious. Nothing based on books or prior proof. They just knew they had such a banger they did 2 movies right out of the gate.

Early 2000s film-making was that crazy. The only other ambitious feat I know of (besides the BTTF example someone else mentioned) was that Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions both released in the same year of eachother, by a few months apart. Were they any good? Up for anyone’s debate (but both far exceed Resurrections). That means, that they also were done in one very long shoot.
