10 Cloverfield Lanewas highly anticipated upon its arrival, even though fans knew that it was not going to be a direct sequel to the first movie. That being said, the ending was a perfect time to bring back theCloverfield monsterto loosely tie things together. Instead, fans were treated to alien ships, which just didn’t make any sense and could have gone a long way in connecting all three of the movies. That’s all changed now, thanks to an awesome fan-made ending that brings the Cloverfield monster back, tying all three movies together.

10 Cloverfield Laneinstantly distanced itself from Matt Reeves’first found-footage style movieand instead went for a third-person narrative. The movie was generally well received amongst critics upon its release and it earned over $110 million worldwide at the box office. But fans were left out in the cold after the thrill of the monster in the first movie and were thrown by the addition of aliens at the last minute. So, when the announcement that a third Cloverfield movie was in the works,fans got extremely excitedat the prospect of a third movie tying everything together.
Cloverfield 3 was first known as the God Particle and it was first teased in 2012 when J.J. Abrams spoke about a possible Cloverfield universe. After many delays, the movie was bought from Paramount by Netflix, who paid over $50 million for the movie that Abrams called a “spiritual sequel” to the first movie. It was officially titledThe Cloverfield Paradoxand was secretly released by Netflix on Super Bowl Sunday, just a few weeks ago. The third installment was generally well received, but definitely not as well as the first movie or even10 Cloverfield Lane, for that matter. Even still, the movie generated over 5 million views in its first 7 days on the streaming platform.
