How many series have that many instalments with the same name?

do not forget

The Mummy (2017) is followed by The Mummy (2026) directly with no Mummy films in-between. I think that's the stragest thing about this besides 5 installmenst having the exact same title
 
If we assume that the release dates are accurate to time passage between films, I think I have a better Scorpion King timeline. If we assume that Mathayus begins his 7 year war from The Mummy Returns soon after the 5th film, this is what we end up with.

3099 B.C. - The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior (Flashbacks) [Age 13]
3093 B.C. - The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior [Age 19]
3084 B.C. - The Scorpion King: Rise of the Akkadian [Age 28]
3083 B.C. - The Scorpion King #1, "The Akkadian Prophecy, Part One" [Age 29]
3083 B.C. - The Scorpion King #2, "The Akkadian Prophecy, Part Two" [Age 29]
3083 B.C. - The Scorpion King [Age 29]
3084 B.C. - The Scorpion King: Sword of Osiris [Age 30]
30?? B.C. - The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption [Age 3?]
3073 B.C. - The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption [Age 39]
3070 B.C. - The Scorpion King 4: Quest for Power [Age 42]
3067 B.C. - Scorpion King: Book of Souls [Age 45]
3067 B.C. - The Mummy Returns (Flashbacks) [Age 45]

I've recently watched them all, and... 1 is great obviously, 2 is really bad, and 3-5 are decent/enjoyable but nothing too spectacular.

Oh don't worry, there's more. They're working on a sixth film with the Rock producing set in the present day.

2 was bad? I thought it was okay... for a Direct-to-video prequel.

I should probably add a note about why some of Hammer Horror is included on the main page. Serveral Frankenstein and The Mummy films were co-produced with Universal, Peter Cushing was Frankenstein alongside Christopher Lee's Dracula in an unrelated film, and Jessica Van Helsing from the Hammer Dracula film series appears in a Universal Monsters magazine.
