Back-to-back film production

Under a back-to-back film production means the production of several films together a film series. This method is often used to save time and money. In a back-to-back production, however, the films are not published at the same time. In most cases, there is a period of about a year between the release dates.

A prerequisite for back-to-back production is that it is clear before production begins that several films are to be produced. In the case of a potential trilogy, the first part is therefore often produced separately and, in the case of commercial success, parts 2 and 3 as a back-to-back production.
