Not to be pedantic, but many of the franchises mentioned so far went far beyond trilogies, so maybe the subject line should read "Didn't finish the film series".
Because the “second trilogy” are usually reboots or done by a whole new set of people.
Movies aren't necessarily (or purposely) made in sets of three, though. In fact, in the scheme of things, very few are (Star Wars comes to mind).
Well franchises never ends nowadays. But Star Wars or maybe even Jaws gave us the “trilogy”. A three picture deal that was planed as a package of films. Superman, Raiders, Jurassic Park. What came afterwards was either an attempt at milking one more movie out of the franchise, (Jaws the revenge, Superman 4, The Crystal Skull) or became a reboot . There’s no hard and fast rules here but The Trilogy was a thing. A lot of planned trilogies never got past the first film.

Because TMP was a stand alone movie composed by someone else? Because Horner started on the second film that had a three picture story arc?
A trilogy would be:
1) 1979 STAR TREK I by we-all-know-who
2) STAR TREK II by Jerry Goldsmith
3) STAR TREK III by Jerry Goldsmith
If there is a ST trilogy that was NOT finished by its 1st composer, then this is it. 
When including STAR TREK IV, the series becomes a quadrilogy/tetralogy.
Including STAR TREK V, it becomes a quintology/pentalogy.
etc.

Unbreakable (J.N.H.)
Split was the sequel. The villain was originally in the script for the first film, but Shyamalan cut it down and removed him. The forgettable unremarkable score is by West Dylan Thordson.
Then the third and final film that re-united the two leads of the first film, and the bad guy from the second, called Glass was done. Another wasted opportunity on the score by West Dylan Thordson. And the film in just bad and kills off out hero in a whimper in a small puddle of water.
Unbreakable is a truly wonderful score and one the composer's best works. It's a horrible shame he was not back to expand upon it and create new themes (for the bad guy, for example). I don't know why he isn't working with Shyamalan anymore (maybe he realizes what a over-rated hack the guy is, maybe they had a personal falling out (maybe Night no longer gets the budgets to afford Howard, maybe Howard knows something about the guy we don't that disturbs him, who knows), but his voice has sorely been missed.

Star Trek II, III, and IV tell a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end. Star Trek II opens with Kirk wanting to be a Captain again and ends with him achieving that goal. Even Leonard Nimoy, in his commentary track for Star Trek III, stated that he had no idea that his continued involvement would wind up creating a "trilogy" of movies starting with Star Trek II. Also, Paramount sold a blu-ray set containing Star Trek II, III and IV as, and I quote, the "Motion Picture Trilogy".

I agree that that's the "Star Trek" movie trilogy, with also Spock's death and resurrection as a storyline.
Star Trek 1 feels set apart and self contained.

Someone said ages ago here on the board that they had a falling out during the tumultuous making of After Earth.
Also, the last few Shyamalan films have been low budget self-financed productions, they probably could not have afforded a full orchestral score by JNH.
