With each new week, audiences are given yet another sequel to watch in theaters. This past summer, there were sequels to John Wick, Fast and Furious, Spider-Man, Toy Story, and even more. This fall, we’re getting sequels to Frozen, Terminator, and sometimes the sequels don’t even get spaced out.

October 18, for instance, marks the arrival of two long-gestating sequels: From Disney, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, and from Sony, Zombieland 2: Double Tap. You’re forgiven if you weren’t already aware that these two sequels were on the way. There’s plenty more sequels you’ve probably already lost any memory of, so this list of 20 such forgotten sequels, in order of their release, should serve as an important reminder. These movies really did exist! Studios released them, and thought audiences would love them! Promise!
