Gl!

Dang. Was hoping they would go one higher.

Pokemon, MCU, Super Mario, Batman, Spiderman, Harry Potter all locks imo.

James Bond? Does Mickey Mouse count? The Simpsons?

Does Pixar count as a franchise? Cars and Toy Story might be there even if they are separate.

Is Zelda big enough?

Oh, Star Wars has to be there, right?

Oops, sorry, forgot we were doing this.

Do MCU & Spiderman count as separate franchises?

Fast & the Furious?
Jurassic Park?

Taylor Swift?

Hamilton? The Louvre?

Yes. Definitely.

Fast and the Furious isn't that big is it?

Jurassic Park is really big, but only 5 movies (and 3 of those were pre-2000), so I'm a little worried.

Certainly big enough, but I doubt she's considered a "media franchise".

Definitely not Hamilton.

The Louvre is massive, but I'm skeptical this counts. (I know museums were on the list, but putting The Louvre and Harry Potter in the same list is...weird)

I'll be away for much of the morning/afternoon today, but I'll keep thinking.

Think Star Trek might be big enough?

bump, give them an extra 24 hours as it's the weekend

My 11 as of right now:

MCU
Harry Potter
Batman
Pokemon
Spiderman
Star Wars
Super Mario
Mickey Mouse
James Bond
Jurassic Park/World
Pirates of the Caribbean

I like the first 8 a lot. Those last three are iffy.

Possible replacements:
Star Trek
Indiana Jones
Zelda
Cars
Toy Story
The Simpsons
Fast and Furious
X-Men

Idk about Fast. 9 movies, 2 of the top 25 or so all time, plus Hobbs + Shaw, a crappy animated TV show, etc, but definitely don't feel strongly that it's there.

Jurassic also has a cartoon series & tons of merchandise, but also don't feel strongly about that.

Titanic only has 1 movie, but huge grossing & multiple museums, but does that really count as a franchise?

Lion King has a couple movies & a long-running hit Broadway play.

Frozen has 2 big movies, some other movie-like thing & ridiculous amounts of merch.

Despicable Me has 4 or 5 movies, tons of merchandise, a Universal Studios ride, etc.

Just throwing out several ideas I'm not that excited about lol.

Can The Bible be a franchise? lol

The NFL? lol

If Pixar is a franchise I almost feel like Disney would have to be a franchise? Idk, the definition of franchise is really messing me up this round.

I'm not in love with Pirates, but maybe? I like the 1st 9.

Simpsons might be my favorite on the maybe list...

It's really hard to compare TV revenue to movie revenue imo.

I'm okay with switching The Simpsons for Pirates.

What do you think about Barbie? Just thought of that and it's been around forever and basically every girl for generations has received one.

Could be? I think they also had a couple crappy TV shows. Inflation might be a bit of a problem because I don't think they're nearly as big of a deal as they were.

They're still pretty massive.

I think that's my new favorite Pirates replacement.

I guess I only have sons. Ok.

We can go with whatever you want tbh.

Do you like The Simpsons or Jurassic Park more?
