* ''WesternAnimation/ShrekForeverAfter'' was initially designed to act as a finale to the ''{{Franchise/Shrek}}'' series as a whole, to the point where promotional material outright referred to it as "The Final Chapter". Though it could be said that [[WesternAnimation/ShrekTheThird the third film]] had a sense of closure to it, ''Forever After'' has an ending that's anything but open. Shrek, after going through one of his most dangerous adventures yet and having everything he knows and loves taken from him, comes to accept and embrace his life as it is, realizing the life he had before was meaningless and he prefers his vast group of friends and family. The end credits even show clips and still images from all four movies. The series had a [[WesternAnimation/PussInBoots prequel spin-off film]] afterwards, and a fifth film was announced a few years later but scrapped and replaced with a ContinuityReboot.

* ''Film/TheIrishman''. Given that it had been a long time that Creator/MartinScorsese was not directing a Mafia movie again, adding to the fact that this movie brings together three legendary Mafia film actors (Creator/RobertDeNiro, Creator/JoePesci and Creator/AlPacino), many see this movie as the grand finale to Scorsese's Mafia movies. Quite simple, ''The Irishman'' marks the end of an era and the ultimate {{deconstruction}}.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'': ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'' is the Sequel Trilogy's capper as well as the official end of the 9-films Skywalker saga that started in 1977. Whether or not the trilogy format will be retained in the future remains to be seen.
* The ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' series has had a FEW of these:
** The title of the fourth entry, ''Film/FridayThe13thTheFinalChapter'', makes its intention clear. It ends with [[spoiler:Jason being KilledOffForReal by a kid named Tommy Jarvis, who takes him out quite brutally with a machete.]] The next movie came out LESS THAN A YEAR later, and got around the ending of ''The Final Chapter'' by [[spoiler:using a copycat killer as the villain instead of the real Jason.]] Then another year after that, there was ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIJasonLives'', which is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin - [[spoiler:the real Jason is resurrected as an undead killing machine, by Tommy, no less.]]
** ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIIIJasonTakesManhattan'' was, according to the writer/director, supposed to be this. It infamously ends with [[spoiler:Jason being caught in a flood of toxic waste in the NYC sewers and seemingly transforming back into a little boy, though there's some debate over whether this was a hallucination by the main character or some sort of metaphor.]]
** The very next film after the above was ''Film/JasonGoesToHellTheFinalFriday'', which got around the end of ''Part VIII'' by simply not acknowledging it. It ends when [[spoiler:Jason is stabbed by his last living blood relative with a sacred dagger and dragged down into hell by demons... and Freddy Krueger.]] This was followed in story order by ''Film/FreddyVsJason'', where [[spoiler:Freddy Krueger revives Jason from hell as part of a plan to get back in the game himself.]] The sequel in release order was ''Film/JasonX'', a RecycledInSpace AffectionateParody of the series that once again just seemed to ignore the events leading up to it, though it makes a bit more sense in retrospect as a follow-up to ''Freddy vs. Jason''.
* The grand finale of the Film/DollarsTrilogy would be ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore'', if one agrees with one paragraph at Wikipedia:
-->"''The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'' is considered as a prequel by some, since it depicts Eastwood's character gradually acquiring the clothing he wears in the other two films and because it takes place during the American Civil War (1861-1865), whereas the other two films feature comparatively more modern firearms and other props, for example: Lee Van Cleef's character in For a Few Dollars More appears to be a Confederate veteran who has come down in the world, and a graveyard scene in A Fistful of Dollars features a gravestone dated 1873."
** ''Film/OnceUponATimeInTheWest'' is seen like the grand finale for the Creator/SergioLeone's SpaghettiWestern films.
* ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows Part 1 and 2''.
* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing'' is the Grand Finale of the ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'', and by extension ''Film/TheHobbit'' as well.
* ''Film/TheMatrixRevolutions'': acts as the Grand Finale of the ''Matrix'' trilogy and ties up all the remaining plotlines in the series, ending with [[spoiler: peace between Zion and the Machines, the Matrix being rebooted, and Neo finally defeating [[BigBad Smith]] [[TheHeroDies at the cost of his own life]]]].
* ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry'' is the Grand Finale that ''Series/{{Star Trek|TheOriginalSeries}}'' never had. The film had an air of finality to it; the crew and ship were due to be decommissioned, aside from Sulu who now had his own ship. They managed to save the galaxy one last time before retiring. Additionally, the film was produced and released during the 1989-1991 collapse of [[UsefulNotes/SovietRussiaUkraineAndSoOn the Soviet Union]], the conclusion of which 19 days after the film's release would mark the end of not only the UsefulNotes/ColdWar, but also the country that the Klingon Empire was designed to be an {{expy}} of. Consequently, the film essentially acts as a prolonged rumination on the fast-approaching end of the very international climate that birthed one of the series' most central conflicts, and serves to more or less give closure to a series birthed in a soon-to-be-bygone era. The first teaser trailer went out of its way to drive the point home; it was essentially composed of snapshots of the greatest moments of TOS and the previous five films. The movie also bridged TOS and [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration TNG]] by sowing the seeds of peace between the Federation and the Klingon Empire; this peace was well-established when TNG premiered (though in hindsight it wound up being a bit too idealistic regarding its predictions on America's relationship with UsefulNotes/TheNewRussia).
** Then [[ExecutiveMeddling the studio insisted]] that [[Film/StarTrekGenerations the next movie]], which was supposed to be TheMovie of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', crossover with TOS and prominently feature Kirk to "pass the torch"... again. Oh, well.
* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'':
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Creator/BryanSinger has referred to this film as the culmination of all his work on the franchise, starting with ''Film/XMen1'' way back in 2000. He states in the May 2016 issue of ''Empire'':
--->"This movie to me is closure. It's in a way, a conclusion to a six-film journey."
** ''Film/{{Logan}}'' sees the final time Creator/HughJackman and Creator/PatrickStewart will play their respective roles of Wolverine and Professor Xavier.
** ''Film/DarkPhoenix'' was intended to be the start of another trilogy but, due to the Disney-Fox merger, it ultimately ended up having to be the end for the series. Although ''Film/TheNewMutants'' was the final film released in the X-Men film series.
* ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'' was ''intended'' to be this for the live-action ''Film/TransformersFilmSeries'' and wraps up the story with the Decepticons defeated (seemingly for good this time) and the Autobots accepting Earth as their new home.
* ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'' for ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy''.
* The radio and television series ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'' concludes with a film where she finally marries LoveInterest Phillip Boynton.
* The ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' series has so far gone through two major {{Continuity Reboot}}s, leading to the series being split into three sub-series (the Showa series, the Heisei series, and the Millennium series). As such, each sub-series has its own GrandFinale, often marked by [[BigBudgetBeefUp noticeably higher production values]].
** ''Film/DestroyAllMonsters'' (1968): In [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture the far-off year of 1999]], Godzilla and his fellow {{Kaiju}} live at peace with humanity in an island enclosure off the coast of Japan, until an invasion by the hostile Kilaak aliens leads to them being harnessed as {{living weapon}}s and forced to attack Earth's major cities ''en masse''. After winning their freedom, the monsters rebel against the Kilaaks to save humanity, leading to an unprecedented team-up between Godzilla and ''nine'' previous monsters as they [[spoiler: take on their nemesis King Ghidorah in a final showdown]]. [[note]] Originally meant to be the final film in the series, but it was continued for several more installments after this one, ultimately fizzling out after ''Film/TerrorOfMechagodzilla'' (1975) and being revived in a {{continuity reboot}} ten years later with ''Film/TheReturnOfGodzilla'' (1985). Still, it remains the chronological finale of the original Showa series.[[/note]]
** ''Film/GodzillaVsDestoroyah'' (1995): The forces of the UNGCC prepare to capture and contain Godzilla once and for all, once it becomes clear that a fatal overdose of radiation [[TonightSomeoneDies will soon kill him in a catastrophic nuclear meltdown]]--along with most of the population of Earth. Meanwhile, Godzilla and his now fully-grown son are drawn into a climactic battle with the mutated offspring of the Oxygen Destroyer, the experimental weapon [[BookEnds that first killed him in 1954]]. In the final battle, [[spoiler: Godzilla Junior dies in battle against Destoroyah, but Godzilla and the Japanese military team up to avenge him]]. The film ends with [[spoiler: the promised death of Godzilla, with Junior arising fully mutated from his remains, prepared to take up his father's mantle as the new Godzilla]].
** ''Film/GodzillaFinalWars'' (2004): [[Film/InvasionOfAstroMonster The Xilien aliens]] make their long-awaited return and attempt to subdue the people of Earth by unleashing an army of [[ContinuityCavalcade nearly every one of Godzilla's previous adversaries]]. As the soldiers of the Earth Defense Force attempt to hold the line to protect humanity, they're [[GodzillaThreshold forced to free the long-dormant Godzilla from captivity]] to save them, leading to Godzilla [[RunTheGauntlet running the gauntlet]] against every monster in the Xiliens' army before ultimately [[spoiler: being persuaded to forgive humanity by his son Minilla]].
* ''Film/BladeTrinity'' was intended as the third and final installment of the Blade films.
* ''Film/MichaelJacksonsThisIsIt'' was made to give fans a glimpse into what Music/MichaelJackson had planned for his ''This Is It'' concert residency in London before [[AuthorExistenceFailure he died in 2009]], and to give a satisfying ending to his nearly fifty year career.
* ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII'' was this for the Franchise/BackToTheFuture trilogy. All the loose ends are tied up, Marty outgrows his "Nobody calls me chicken" attitude, the [=DeLorean=] is destroyed, Doc has fallen in love and now has kids, and Marty and Jennifer have a promising future ahead of them.
* ''Film/ResidentEvilTheFinalChapter'', as the title suggests, is the final movie in the ''Resident Evil'' film franchise. Alice [[WhereItAllBegan returns to the Hive in Raccoon City]], in order to final destroy the [[MegaCorp Umbrella Corporation]] and end the [[ZombieApocalypse T-Virus plague]] once and for all.
* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
** ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' and ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' combined are the finale to the Infinity Stone MythArc that’s run through all MCU movies up to that point, as well as for many of the characters. [[BigBad Thanos]] decides he’s done [[OrcusOnHisThrone relying on minions to get the Infinity Stones]] and finally goes on the offensive against the heroes, forcing all of them to unite in order to stop Thanos from using the Stones to kill half the universe. People die. ''[[AnyoneCanDie A lot of people]]''.
* ''Film/RamboLastBlood'' sees John Rambo go on his final and most blood-soaked mission. That title (''Last Blood'') is there for a reason.
* ''Film/BillAndTedFaceTheMusic'' is considered the finale of the Bill and Ted franchise where the duo finally made the song that will reunite the world by having everyone around the world play music together saving reality as we know it.
[[/folder]]
* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory4'' is the finale of the Toy Story Franchise. [[spoiler:According to Tom Hanks, this will presumably be the final film in the ''Toy Story'' franchise, capping off a 24-year tetralogy. The ending appears to confirm this: the seemingly inseparable duo of Woody and Buzz Lightyear peacefully part ways.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/ShrekForeverAfter'' was initially designed to act as a finale to the ''{{Franchise/Shrek}}'' series as a whole, to the point where promotional material outright referred to it as "The Final Chapter". Though it could be said that [[WesternAnimation/ShrekTheThird the third film]] had a sense of closure to it, ''Forever After'' has an ending that's anything but open. Shrek, after going through one of his most dangerous adventures yet and having everything he knows and loves taken from him, comes to accept and embrace his life as it is, realizing the life he had before was meaningless and he prefers his vast group of friends and family. The end credits even show clips and still images from all four movies. The series had a [[WesternAnimation/PussInBoots prequel spin-off film]] afterwards, and a fifth film was announced a few years later, presumably meaning the "finale" moniker [[SeriesFauxnale no longer applies]].[[note]]The fifth film was later scrapped and replaced with a ContinuityReboot, so it may be a true finale after all.[[/note]]
* ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragonTheHiddenWorld'' is an epic end to the series, with [[spoiler:Hiccup saying goodbye to Toothless as he sets out with his mate, the Light Fury, and other dragons into the Hidden World, where they can live safe from humans. In the DistantFinale, Hiccup and Astrid briefly visit the place to let [[BabiesEverAfter their children]] fly with Toothless and another dragon.]]
* ''[[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueDarkApokolipsWar Justice League Dark: Apokolips War]]'' is this to the WesternAnimation/DCAnimatedMovieUniverse, with [[spoiler: most of the heroes dead or crippled and Earth left near-inhospitable and Flash goes back in time and preventing the entire tragedy from ever happening in the first place, just like what happened in The Flashpoint Paradox, meaning that the resulting reality will be completely different than the one they remember. ]]

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* ''Film/TheIrishman''. Given that it had been a long time that Creator/MartinScorsese was not directing a Mafia movie again, adding to the fact that this movie brings together three legendary Mafia film actors (Creator/RobertDeNiro, Creator/JoePesci and Creator/AlPacino), many see this movie as the grand finale to Scorsese's Mafia movies. Quite simple, ''The Irishman'' marks the end of an era and the ultimate {{deconstruction}}.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'': ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'' is the Sequel Trilogy's capper as well as the official end of the 9-films Skywalker saga that started in 1977. Whether or not the trilogy format will be retained in the future remains to be seen.
* The ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' series has had a FEW of these:
** The title of the fourth entry, ''Film/FridayThe13thTheFinalChapter'', makes its intention clear. It ends with [[spoiler:Jason being KilledOffForReal by a kid named Tommy Jarvis, who takes him out quite brutally with a machete.]] The next movie came out LESS THAN A YEAR later, and got around the ending of ''The Final Chapter'' by [[spoiler:using a copycat killer as the villain instead of the real Jason.]] Then another year after that, there was ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIJasonLives'', which is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin - [[spoiler:the real Jason is resurrected as an undead killing machine, by Tommy, no less.]]
** ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIIIJasonTakesManhattan'' was, according to the writer/director, supposed to be this. It infamously ends with [[spoiler:Jason being caught in a flood of toxic waste in the NYC sewers and seemingly transforming back into a little boy, though there's some debate over whether this was a hallucination by the main character or some sort of metaphor.]]
** The very next film after the above was ''Film/JasonGoesToHellTheFinalFriday'', which got around the end of ''Part VIII'' by simply not acknowledging it. It ends when [[spoiler:Jason is stabbed by his last living blood relative with a sacred dagger and dragged down into hell by demons... and Freddy Krueger.]] This was followed in story order by ''Film/FreddyVsJason'', where [[spoiler:Freddy Krueger revives Jason from hell as part of a plan to get back in the game himself.]] The sequel in release order was ''Film/JasonX'', a RecycledInSpace AffectionateParody of the series that once again just seemed to ignore the events leading up to it, though it makes a bit more sense in retrospect as a follow-up to ''Freddy vs. Jason''.
* The grand finale of the Film/DollarsTrilogy would be ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore'', if one agrees with one paragraph at Wikipedia:
-->"''The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'' is considered as a prequel by some, since it depicts Eastwood's character gradually acquiring the clothing he wears in the other two films and because it takes place during the American Civil War (1861-1865), whereas the other two films feature comparatively more modern firearms and other props, for example: Lee Van Cleef's character in For a Few Dollars More appears to be a Confederate veteran who has come down in the world, and a graveyard scene in A Fistful of Dollars features a gravestone dated 1873."
** ''Film/OnceUponATimeInTheWest'' is seen like the grand finale for the Creator/SergioLeone's SpaghettiWestern films.
* ''Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows Part 1 and 2''.
* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing'' is the Grand Finale of the ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'', and by extension ''Film/TheHobbit'' as well.
* ''Film/TheMatrixRevolutions'': acts as the Grand Finale of the ''Matrix'' trilogy and ties up all the remaining plotlines in the series, ending with [[spoiler: peace between Zion and the Machines, the Matrix being rebooted, and Neo finally defeating [[BigBad Smith]] [[TheHeroDies at the cost of his own life]]]].
* ''Film/StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry'' is the Grand Finale that ''Series/{{Star Trek|TheOriginalSeries}}'' never had. The film had an air of finality to it; the crew and ship were due to be decommissioned, aside from Sulu who now had his own ship. They managed to save the galaxy one last time before retiring. Additionally, the film was produced and released during the 1989-1991 collapse of [[UsefulNotes/SovietRussiaUkraineAndSoOn the Soviet Union]], the conclusion of which 19 days after the film's release would mark the end of not only the UsefulNotes/ColdWar, but also the country that the Klingon Empire was designed to be an {{expy}} of. Consequently, the film essentially acts as a prolonged rumination on the fast-approaching end of the very international climate that birthed one of the series' most central conflicts, and serves to more or less give closure to a series birthed in a soon-to-be-bygone era. The first teaser trailer went out of its way to drive the point home; it was essentially composed of snapshots of the greatest moments of TOS and the previous five films. The movie also bridged TOS and [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration TNG]] by sowing the seeds of peace between the Federation and the Klingon Empire; this peace was well-established when TNG premiered (though in hindsight it wound up being a bit too idealistic regarding its predictions on America's relationship with UsefulNotes/TheNewRussia).
** Then [[ExecutiveMeddling the studio insisted]] that [[Film/StarTrekGenerations the next movie]], which was supposed to be TheMovie of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', crossover with TOS and prominently feature Kirk to "pass the torch"... again. Oh, well.
* ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'':
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Creator/BryanSinger has referred to this film as the culmination of all his work on the franchise, starting with ''Film/XMen1'' way back in 2000. He states in the May 2016 issue of ''Empire'':
--->"This movie to me is closure. It's in a way, a conclusion to a six-film journey."
** ''Film/{{Logan}}'' sees the final time Creator/HughJackman and Creator/PatrickStewart will play their respective roles of Wolverine and Professor Xavier.
** ''Film/DarkPhoenix'' was intended to be the start of another trilogy but, due to the Disney-Fox merger, it ultimately ended up having to be the end for the series. Although ''Film/TheNewMutants'' was the final film released in the X-Men film series.
* ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'' was ''intended'' to be this for the live-action ''Film/TransformersFilmSeries'' and wraps up the story with the Decepticons defeated (seemingly for good this time) and the Autobots accepting Earth as their new home.
* ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'' for ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy''.
* The radio and television series ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'' concludes with a film where she finally marries LoveInterest Phillip Boynton.
* The ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' series has so far gone through two major {{Continuity Reboot}}s, leading to the series being split into three sub-series (the Showa series, the Heisei series, and the Millennium series). As such, each sub-series has its own GrandFinale, often marked by [[BigBudgetBeefUp noticeably higher production values]].
** ''Film/DestroyAllMonsters'' (1968): In [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture the far-off year of 1999]], Godzilla and his fellow {{Kaiju}} live at peace with humanity in an island enclosure off the coast of Japan, until an invasion by the hostile Kilaak aliens leads to them being harnessed as {{living weapon}}s and forced to attack Earth's major cities ''en masse''. After winning their freedom, the monsters rebel against the Kilaaks to save humanity, leading to an unprecedented team-up between Godzilla and ''nine'' previous monsters as they [[spoiler: take on their nemesis King Ghidorah in a final showdown]]. [[note]] Originally meant to be the final film in the series, but it was continued for several more installments after this one, ultimately fizzling out after ''Film/TerrorOfMechagodzilla'' (1975) and being revived in a {{continuity reboot}} ten years later with ''Film/TheReturnOfGodzilla'' (1985). Still, it remains the chronological finale of the original Showa series.[[/note]]
** ''Film/GodzillaVsDestoroyah'' (1995): The forces of the UNGCC prepare to capture and contain Godzilla once and for all, once it becomes clear that a fatal overdose of radiation [[TonightSomeoneDies will soon kill him in a catastrophic nuclear meltdown]]--along with most of the population of Earth. Meanwhile, Godzilla and his now fully-grown son are drawn into a climactic battle with the mutated offspring of the Oxygen Destroyer, the experimental weapon [[BookEnds that first killed him in 1954]]. In the final battle, [[spoiler: Godzilla Junior dies in battle against Destoroyah, but Godzilla and the Japanese military team up to avenge him]]. The film ends with [[spoiler: the promised death of Godzilla, with Junior arising fully mutated from his remains, prepared to take up his father's mantle as the new Godzilla]].
** ''Film/GodzillaFinalWars'' (2004): [[Film/InvasionOfAstroMonster The Xilien aliens]] make their long-awaited return and attempt to subdue the people of Earth by unleashing an army of [[ContinuityCavalcade nearly every one of Godzilla's previous adversaries]]. As the soldiers of the Earth Defense Force attempt to hold the line to protect humanity, they're [[GodzillaThreshold forced to free the long-dormant Godzilla from captivity]] to save them, leading to Godzilla [[RunTheGauntlet running the gauntlet]] against every monster in the Xiliens' army before ultimately [[spoiler: being persuaded to forgive humanity by his son Minilla]].
* ''Film/BladeTrinity'' was intended as the third and final installment of the Blade films.
* ''Film/MichaelJacksonsThisIsIt'' was made to give fans a glimpse into what Music/MichaelJackson had planned for his ''This Is It'' concert residency in London before [[AuthorExistenceFailure he died in 2009]], and to give a satisfying ending to his nearly fifty year career.
* ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII'' was this for the Franchise/BackToTheFuture trilogy. All the loose ends are tied up, Marty outgrows his "Nobody calls me chicken" attitude, the [=DeLorean=] is destroyed, Doc has fallen in love and now has kids, and Marty and Jennifer have a promising future ahead of them.
* ''Film/ResidentEvilTheFinalChapter'', as the title suggests, is the final movie in the ''Resident Evil'' film franchise. Alice [[WhereItAllBegan returns to the Hive in Raccoon City]], in order to final destroy the [[MegaCorp Umbrella Corporation]] and end the [[ZombieApocalypse T-Virus plague]] once and for all.
* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'':
** ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' and ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' combined are the finale to the Infinity Stone MythArc that’s run through all MCU movies up to that point, as well as for many of the characters. [[BigBad Thanos]] decides he’s done [[OrcusOnHisThrone relying on minions to get the Infinity Stones]] and finally goes on the offensive against the heroes, forcing all of them to unite in order to stop Thanos from using the Stones to kill half the universe. People die. ''[[AnyoneCanDie A lot of people]]''.
* ''Film/RamboLastBlood'' sees John Rambo go on his final and most blood-soaked mission. That title (''Last Blood'') is there for a reason.
* ''Film/BillAndTedFaceTheMusic'' is considered the finale of the Bill and Ted franchise where the duo finally made the song that will reunite the world by having everyone around the world play music together saving reality as we know it.
