I feel like every big movie nowadays is the first of an expected trilogy, but that movie always bombs and we never seen part 2 or 3. Or, on the odd chance that all three films do succeed, they just keep making more movies that nullifies the trilogy idea. How many of these “planned trilogies” have actuallt worked out in the modern era? The only one I can think of is the Hobbit trilogy.
Lord of the Rings maybe, but to me the Hobbit would have been much better as a single film. The trilogy was completely too much.
The Dark Knight, Mad Max, Indiana Jones and Back To The Future trilogies were all great to me, not sure if they all fall in to the modern category though.
I OWN THE TRILOGY,I HAVE WATCHED THE TRILOGY....FOR THE LIFE OF ME I COULDNT GIVE YOU ONE SENTENCE ON WHAT HAPPENED.....SMAUG..I THINK THATS A THING,MAYBE.
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes is 20th Century Fox's reboot of the Planet of the Apes series, intended to act as an origin story for a new series of films."
I DONT KNOW IF THEY PLANNED THE ROUND IT OFF AT THREE,BUT THEY DEFINATELY PLANNED TO KEEP GOING.

That's not true.
They hoped the movie was successful enough to make sequels. That's quite common nowadays, about 99% of pop-corn movies are like that. That's different from planning a trilogy or a series of movies from the beginning, though.

“I hope that we’re building a platform for future films. We’re trying to plant a lot of the seeds for a lot of the things you are talking about in terms of the different apes and so forth.”
So, yeap, he hoped that he could make sequels. Duh. But that's different from planning a series of films, like they did in The Hobbit (for example) or with the failed The Mummy.
The wikipedia editor acted as a tabloid, rewriting what the director said in something different. Nothing new, the wikipedia quality has been going down since it was infiltrated by wokes.

I think that autocorrect is the culprit for that sentence by kuku. He typed wookies, but it got autocorrected and he missed it. And yes I agree, ever since then the quality has gone down since every Wikipedia entry is:
