Examples

“When last⟳ seen, the “Poseidon” had been blown into small pieces. With any luck, this means Mr. Allen can’t possibly make⟳ a threequel.”

“On the contrary, last⟳ summer saw⟳ two jocular parodies of 1970’s blaxploitation films: the minor hit Undercover Brother and Beyonce Knowles’s portrayal of Foxxy Cleopatra, a character in the Austin Powers “threequel.””

“This may be the year of the threequel, but not all the franchises will be successful, predicts Mr. Gray.”

“THE biggest threequels to date⟳ have⟳ included some great films. The third part of the original Star Wars trilogy, Return⟳ of the Jedi (1983), then Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005) were huge hits.”
