Umm...

Gone with the wind

Shawshanke redemption

12 angry Men

Psycho

Need I go on? Plenty of films have had much more cultural impact without any sequels.

Literally all of these are adaptations of written works, with many versions across TV, theaters etc. often before becoming movies.

Psycho had a book only a year before the movie and a tv series way after "Bates Motel" and that was a failure. Most if not all of these are only known through 1 movie and not the entire fiction work. No one remembers the 2nd 12 angry Men or the Psycho book for example. What made them cultural phenomenon was one movie and that's it. And that's the point I was trying to make.
