It doesn’t happen with every single long-running film franchise, sure, but some of them – once enough years/installments have gone by – do have multiple movies that share the same title. Halloween is an example of this, given there’s Halloween (1978), Halloween (2007), and Halloween (2018), necessitating the use of years to distinguish them all, which can be annoying at times, but it does help if you have a word count to hit, admittedly. Then there’s the Godzilla series, and it’s understandable for sure that the first movie was just called… well, Godzilla. But then, in 1998, there was an attempt at making an American version of Godzilla, and the title got reused, and then when there was a (debatable) need to wash away that movie and its legacy, another American version of Godzilla was released, 16 years later, and the title was reused once more.
