While it might not have been the first, the Marvel Cinematic Universe spearheaded by Kevin Feige and now under the ownership of Disney has refined the formula for a modern audience. Beginning with Iron Man in 2008 and exploding thanks to The Avengers 4 years later, the MCU pumps out multiple movies per year, almost all of which have garnered considerable critical and commercial success. Seeing the success Marvel Studios were enjoying, rival studios clamored to adopt the shared universe approach, but many of these pretenders have since fallen by the ways
The Lego Movie was a big hit for Warner Bros. in 2014. Taking Emmet (voiced by Chris Pratt ) through a colorful brick world and encompassing characters from a multitude of franchises and brands, the long-awaited debut of the Danish toy company on the big screen was enjoyed by adults and kids alike. Once again, this success set off the shared universe alarm at Warner Bros. HQ and it wasn’t long before a direct sequel and a multitude of spin-offs were green
The Lego Batman Movie came next, taking one of the most memorable characters from the original and going ‘full DC’ with a whole cast of superheroes. Despite lacking the same box office clout as its predecessor, Lego Batman earned much praise from audiences, and comic book fans were especially impressed by the lighter, heartfelt take on the Caped Crusader. Unfortunately, that waning box office was a sign of things to come for Warner Bros.’ Lego Cinematic Universe . The Lego Ninjago Movie followed shortly after Will Arnett’s Dark (Yellow) Knight spin-off, but to much less fanfare and considerably lower revenue, perhaps paying the price for a more niche Lego concept. A direct sequel to the original, 2019’s The Second Part , failed to reverse those fortunes and other planned projects were swiftly axed. More recently, the Lego company have shifted focus back to toys after their own dip in revenue and Warner Bros. lost the movie rights to Universal earlier this year. Turns out everything isn’t awesome after

A direct Conjuring sequel arrived in 2016, and a third ( The Devil Made Me Do It ) is currently set for release in September 2020, although that might change due to the current pandemic. Expanding on the lore of Ed and Lorraine Warren, however, The Conjuring also set up Annabelle . After the creepy doll first appeared in the Warrens’ room of haunted curiosities, an Annabelle spin-off released in 2014 and has since spawned 2 further sequels. Further diving into The Conjuring ‘s lore, The Nun premiered in 2018 and starred the demonic villain seen previously, while The Crooked Man is set to do something similar with its own title character. Elsewhere, The Curse of La Llorona is confirmed to exist within The Conjuring ‘s universe thanks to an appearance by Tony Amendola’s Father Perez and several fan-made short films have been enshrined into the same rapidly-growing ca
