Matrix and Back to the Future did that for their sequels, before LOTR.

There was a spurt of fantasy adaptations after LOTR, but it seems to have died out so for now I wouldn't put it there (I also think that what LOTR did was to take the best from prior epic movies, from Spartacus to Star Wars).

Responses:

but filming 2 and 3 after a successful 1 is much different than committing to 1,2,3 before any revenues come in -- nm - zork Apr 13, 10:45 5
- Yes, but how can it be influential in that arena when no other franchise has done that since. -- nm - Ender Apr 13, 10:49 3
  - which is why I mentioned the artistry of the crafts (above) -- nm - zork Apr 13, 10:50 2
    - Has that worked its way into other films since then either? -- nm - Ender Apr 13, 10:54 1
      - no, I was thinking innovative (or thereabouts) rather than influential -- nm - zork Apr 13, 10:56
- Agreed. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 10:48
Back to the Future did? I did not know that. -- nm - Fuzzy Apr 13, 10:41 2
- Yes, 2 and 3 were shot back to back. - celedhring Apr 13, 10:43
- I think 2 and 3 were done at virtually the same time; it led to some complications in Fox's private life -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 10:42
Oh wait, I just had a brain fart about Matrix. Scrap that. -- nm - celedhring Apr 13, 10:41 4
- was the planning for LOTR possibly before Matrix? -- nm - zork Apr 13, 10:42 3
  - No, no I was wrong. Principal photography for LOTR came first. - celedhring Apr 13, 10:44 2
    - I suppose the point isn't who did it first. It's really about which one had the most influence on the film industry. - Fuzzy Apr 13, 10:46 1
      - I agree on that. It's like who discovered America. - celedhring Apr 13, 10:51
