The numbers are technically supposed to refer to how many people are involved in the heist.
well then they should conform to naming standards and title them as numbered sequals with subtitles, such as:
Ocean's Eleven 2: Twelve
Ocean's Eleven 3: Thirteen
Ocean's Eight Women (this one can explore title structure more freely since it's not part of the main series)
Ocean's Eleven 4: Fourteen
Advantages of this naming structure:
If they wanted to make another movie where they have the same number of thieves in their crew, their current non-standard standard would make it impossible, or very inconvenient. Like, what if they wanted to make another movie with eleven thieves in their crew? They'd have to call it Ocean's Eleven 2, even though it's not a direct sequel to Ocean's Eleven. But with my naming standards (which are simply the industry standard) you can have Ocean's Eleven 5: Eleven
Everybody will always know where they are in the series
Just watch out for Ocean's Eleven 9: Eleven.
It was a national tragedy
