Well, it has an ending, for sure. Macbeth is dead, his head chopped off. Lady Macbeth is dead too. A new reign is about to begin. It is the end of the story of Macbeth. But that doesn't mean there is no sequel. Had the play been popular (it wasn't), we might have seen "Macbeth II: Donalbain's Revenge". Shakespeare actually wrote a whole series of plays which were all sequels or prequels to one of his first plays about the reign of Henry VI. But each one of these ends on some kind of closing event, even though the story goes on.
