I think the first time this was done probably dates back to the Universal Monsters films from the 30's and 40's. Several of those ignored certain sequels.

"Halloween" (2018) is going to be a sequel to the original and pretend the other sequels don't exist. If successful, we will see a proper T3: Terminator 3 and so on and so forth, ignoring bad sequels and just picking up where the last 'good one' left off...
However, "Superman Returns" (2006) was the first film franchise to try this if I'm not mistaken?
Bryan Singer (director) said they ignored the events of Superman III and IV. This film picks up where "Superman II" left off. Superman gets a hint that astronomers may have found remains of his home world, so he leaves Earth for 5 years. Lex goes to court and Superman isn't there to be a witness, so his lawyers get him off? Idk... So he comes back.
I think this could have worked as a great idea to retool or kick start a dead franchise, but they made a few choices that ruined the movie. First of all, Lois looks like a 22 year old Intern at the Daily Planet, not 38 years old with a kid (5 years after Superman II. She was 33). The Superman suit looked like an homage to the 1940s Cartoon suit with the small 'S' shield and the bright blue and dark red. Again, Superman doesn't age at the rate of other humans, so Routh was fine. The plot was too hokey. Why not have Brainiac attack Earth? He's a villain not used in a Superman motion picture, plus it would make sense he sent Superman on this wild goose chase to invade Earth in his absence.
Cameron says Terminator Genisys is the 3rd film at 1:15
