High School Musical 3, because 1 & 2 were just TV movies on the Disney Channel.

I was really surprised to learn Bambi II was released in theaters everywhere except the United States, a surprise given that all post 1990 Disney sequels (aside from Lion King II and Winnie the Pooh) have been direct to video.

The Matrix sequals.
The first movie was made in 1999. All of its good idea were copied by pretty much every other movie and were dated and tired by the time the sequels were announced.
It also didn't leave room for a sequel. Everything was resolved in the first movie and resolved well. It truly is a great movie.
The Matrix Reloaded was released in 2003, 4 years after the first. It was wayyy too late and adding to the fact that it was a tired cliche by this point, the move stunk. It took the story in a new direction.....and failed miserably. Frankly it was for the most part..boring. It was a clear cash in and was the last Matrix movie. The Wachowski Brothers would have been much better off doing a new movie with new characters in that universe.

Jungle Book 2 was a cinema release; Lion King II was straight-to-video. I'd also chime in on Hoodwinked 2. Because we need fat ogres dressed up as sumos getting kicked in the nuts and 15 "Matrix" parodies. |

The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie, but the movie had the feel of a straight-to-video release, and apart from Vin Diesel's cameo at the end, it had virtually nothing to do with the other movies.

I'll very loudly confess that Alvin & the Chipmunks 3 seemed like an odd theatrical release to me, but it's done pretty well for itself in the Star Wars-overwhelmed box office. I was really surprised to learn Bambi II was released in theaters everywhere except the United States, a surprise given that all post 1990 Disney sequels (aside from Lion King II and Winnie the Pooh) have been direct to video. A few of those early Disney sequels actually got theatrical releases too - Jungle Book 2 and Return to Never Land as well (and both were considerable hits, each making $100mil off of a $20mil production budget for each). DisneyToon Studios, a subdivision of Walt Disney Animation, makes these and the other DVD releases. I'm a bit surprised more of them didn't get theater runs, considering DTS movies cost a lot less than the major movies and they seem to always make a very good profit in the box office. (DTS also made Planes, which was meant to be direct to DVD)... |

If I remember correctly, for most of pre-production, the movie wasn't actually supposed to be apart of TF&TF franchise (which was largely considered dead after the second movie underperformed). Nobody in the studio had much confidence in it performing well in theaters so the name was added in hopes it might give it a little hype. Eventually Vin Diesel agreed to do a cameo in return for getting the rights to his Riddick character. When the movie wound up being a modest but surprising success, everybody agreed there might be another real movie left in the franchise and felt it to be worth it to meet Vin Diesel's asking price to star (which had shot up dramatically in the years). |

Jungle Book 2 & Return to Neverland I think any Disney sequel is baffling, especially of the more classic ones. That there were 2 Cinderella sequels is bizarre (although I hear Cinderella 3 is quite.....decent) |

I won't argue because I wondered way back when if Universal slapped the name on it to make money because they had started releasing unrelated sequels and spin-offs (A year prior they had released the American Pie Band Camp movie), except this movie was released in theaters. The series was dead at that point, because I was not sure what the state it was in and when I saw a TV spot while watching Raw, I was a little confused because nobody from the previous films were in the trailer. It was not until the fourth film when it started kicking the series into high gear. (Pardon the pun) |
