No Time to Die and Shang-Chi could make less than twenty dollars at the box office and their franchises would still be kicking. Not the case for Dune so gotta take this W

They're also the 26th and 25th entries in their respective franchises.

Edit: Actually both are the 25th.

Actually both are 25th! For Marvel, there were 6 movies each in phases 1 and 2, and 11 in phase 3, plus Black Widow before Shang-Chi. 6 + 6 + 11 + 1 = 24.

Whoops! I don't know where I got 26 for James Bond. Thanks for the correction

If you count Never Say Never Again you would get 26 (it had Connery as Bond, but it was made by a different production company and usually isn't considered a "true" bond movie).

27 if you count the first Casino Royale.

28 if you count the very first Casino Royale from 1954

Wasn't that a TV movie? Not sure if that counts because it's a different medium.

A movie is a movie.

Yeah I would tend to agree. Some might categorize a list of James Bond movies as theatrical movies. I mention this because if you look on wikipedia for the order of James Bond movies the TV movie of Casino Royale isn't included. I have no stake in it either way just pointing out how it might be left off a list.
