we can’t get enough of these movie
worlds welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down the top 10
best blockbuster film franchises for
this list we’ve looked at the list of
highest-grossing film franchises and
have chosen those series we feel our
best in terms of technical and artistic
merit as well as coolness and nostalgia
factor are you trying to tell me that I
can dodge bullets we’ve ranked a list
based on a balance between those
criteria the films earnings and how
consistently badass they stayed over the
years nothing shocks me i’m scientist
number 10 mission impossible following
IMF agent Ethan Hunt as he gets himself
in and out of increasingly well
impossible missions this franchise has
had its ups and downs
since it debuted in 1996 but with
heart-stopping action sequences unheard
of stunts and the neverending star power
of Tom Cruise on its side it’s become
one of the most bankable action brands
going and succeeded in eclipsing its
source material
number nine spider-man
Peter Parker his alter ego and friends
had a huge following of comic fans but
it was tough to get everybody’s favorite
web slinger off the ground and onto the
big screen with directors like tobe
Hooper and James Cameron trying and
failing cool Spidey outfit thanks once
Sam Raimi gave audiences the opportunity
to see Spidey and live action they’ve
continued to flock summer after summer
to see different incarnations of this
award-winning franchise number 8 James
Bond
the first true blockbuster film
franchise if you do it better than bond
three measures of Gordon’s wanted vodka
are the measure of kina Lillet shake it
over rice and then add a thin slice of
lemon peel yes sir
based on Ian Fleming’s novels about the
British secret agent this series has
gone through many Bond actors over its
20-plus films with hit or miss results
was it painful the gene therapy
you couldn’t possibly imagine oh good
I’m glad to hear that in fact it’s
tempting to bump bond up but a handful
of stinkers tarnish and otherwise
spectacular franchise I do hope that
wasn’t for me but that is however if
they keep making films like Skyfall
the top spot will soon belong to
double-oh-seven
take the money shop number seven
Batman aside from an animated flick and
a campy adaptation of the 60s TV series
we could split Batman into two distinct
franchises as my plastic surgeon always
said is he gonna go go the slow the
Burton Schumacher films and Christopher
Nolan’s epic trilogy ones more stylized
in comic inspired ones darker and
grittier high one traded lead actors
until the series lost prestige the other
stuck with its muscular hero
either way the Caped Crusader is the
most popular superhero when translated
to film it’s not about money it’s about
number six Star Wars with alien races
chicks and bikinis puppets co-directed
yes hmm
and a battle between good and evil
Star Wars propelled itself into the
hearts and minds of sci-fi nerds
everywere the supremacy of this George
Lucas masterpiece as a cultural force is
undeniable it has dominated the
zeitgeist for over a quarter century
with Disney’s upcoming additions to the
franchise it’s sure to dominate for a
long long time to go
number five the Marvel Cinematic
Universe this drink I like it I know
it’s great right now though this
fictional universe has become a
lucrative endeavor for Marvel with super
hero after super hero dominating the box
office not only that but the great
experiment to bring together no less
than four film franchises into one
colossal blockbuster paid off with Joss
Whedon’s the Avengers so what we call
ourselves sort of like a team Earth’s
Mightiest Heroes time frame which raked
in 1.5 billion dollars worldwide other
franchises don’t stand a chance
as this series continues to roll out new
films here’s my boys to infinity and
beyond
number 4 Toy Story Pixar’s
groundbreaking first feature also
ignited their first and truest franchise
was looking alien undoubtedly the best
reviewed series on this list it’s also
worth noting that Toy Story 3 doubled
the box office takings of the original
so who’s ready for Ken’s dream tour with
universal themes like growing up as its
glue this franchise appeals to young and
old and reaps the rewards will Han t
pick me you don’t need a magic 8-ball to
know will likely see a fourth entry
eventually the whole room just for
trying on clothes everything number
three Indiana Jones Adventure has a name
and it’s Indiana Jones
hey you calling doctor Joel when Raiders
of the Lost Ark premiered in 1981 it
came on the heels of Lucas’s and
Spielberg’s respective successes with
Star Wars and jaws but Indy is a
franchise force in his own right
even Temple of Doom detractors have
recently come around to recognize this
series as one of the greatest trilogies
of all time yeah we said trilogy
number two Harry Potter 10 years for
directors seven Horcruxes eight movies
and eight billion dollars in worldwide
grosses and not one of the movies sucks
but the true magic of Harry Potter is
his ability to pull money out of nowhere
and make billionaires of the three young
actors involved who create you’ll Harry
Potter
JK Rowling was so close to having the
most successful book to film adaptation
of all time at least according to us
the time of the number one Tolkien’s
middle-earth my name is Bilbo Baggins
Bagginses watches dances with runtimes
that rival the longest epochs Peter
Jackson’s Tolkien series is the beefiest
of the franchises it also just happens
to be the only one to have a Best
Picture Oscar to its name with action
fantasy superb acting and technical
mastery it will continue to be
considered an admirable adaptation of
the books until the end of all things
externally counts as one you agree or
disagree with our list you’re no match

franchises would be in your top 10 be
