We actually discussed a movie making curve in one of my business classes.
I can't remember the details... but essentially films maintain decent profitability with about 2-3 films in a franchise. And they generally lose money once you get to a 4th.
Sometimes, it's a business decision, other times... directors actually want to do it..... LOTR is a great example of a director's decision.
