I'd still argue that something isn't a real "trilogy" unless it has an overarching story that follows patterns and concludes in a third movie. Anything else is basically "just three movies". It's like Iron Man - he actually has a more complete and thematic character journey across The Avengers flicks than he does his own movies with a disjointed 2nd flick and a third act that shoe horns the arc reactors in as some kind of "character culmination".
Star Wars is an example of a real trilogy. LOTR - real trilogy. Star Trek II, III and IV - absolutely a real trilogy. But I haven't seen Beetlejuice 2 yet so maybe the themes are there to have done it.
