Closed Narrative structure

"A Closed Narrative structure is most commonly found in movies. As mentioned before, movies generally exist as one unique story, and contain a beginning, middle and an ending. A story is unravelled before an audience, and then ultimately brought to a conclusion. A closed narrative in a movie does not necessarily mean no sequels can be made. There can be prequels, set before the chronology of the first movie, or a sequel that can create an all-new story, with the same characters. But strictly speaking, they can still be movies in their own right. The James Bond movies (1962-1999), which total 19 separate movies involving the same characters, provide a good example of this."
