Franchises That Were Sadly Canceled Before The Final Film

With the success of Star Wars, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Harry Potter, it seems like Hollywood is always looking for its next big franchise. Some films go into production hoping to be the next contender, but the reviews and box office receipts end up telling a different story. There's nothing wrong with thinking ahead, but it's important to tell a good story right out of the gate to get audiences invested, or you'll never get to your all-important final film.
