A spin-off movie is a movie based on a side plot or side character of another movie. For example, "The Scorpion King" is a spin-off of "The Mummy" series. The term spin-off is more often used for TV series, such as "Frasier" being a spin-off of "Cheers."
When a series finishes, sometimes a new series is made with the same themes and some of the same characters from the original series like when 'Friends' finished there was a spinoff series called 'Joey' that included one of the characters from 'Friends'.
It is a term used to describe something that originates from something else, such as a new T.V. show that starts off with characters from a previous T.V. show. An example is The Jefferson's which got it's start from the show All In The Family.
A spin off is something where you take an industry and make something else that relates to that industry or sells it.
When a character on one show is given his own show. George Jefferson was a character on "All in the Family". His spin-off was "The Jeffersons".
The spinoff series to Avatar: the Last Airbender is The Legend of Korra.
