TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The movie industry has continued to evolve through countless advancements both on the screen and behind the scenes. In the entertainment industry, one of the most sought-after opportunities is crafting franchises, which birth the highest-grossing film franchises. Some prominent directors successfully brought this vision to life, as listed below.
5 Highest-Grossing Film Franchises
According to Investopedia and Statista, the world's most buzzing franchise, Marvel Cinematic Universe, claims its rightful spot as the highest-grossing film franchise this era, with other remarkable franchises as follows:
1. Marvel Cinematic Universe - $30 Billion
Marking their pinnacle of success, Marvel Cinematic Universe, also widely recognized as the MCU, is the highest-grossing film franchise in history. With around 45 movies under their legacy, this phenomenal franchise has garnered over $30.8 billion worldwide.
Investopedia shared that MCU’s primary lucrative journey stemmed from its extremely popular Avengers movies, accumulating $7.7 billion across four films. Additionally, Avengers: Endgame is dubbed the second highest-grossing film of all time, reaching $2.79 billion.
2. Star Wars - $10.32 Billion
Following suit as the second highest-grossing film franchise is Star Wars, which is valued at a total gross of $10.32 billion. Among the franchise’s 15 movies, 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens made history, touching the base of a $2 billion gross total worldwide. This movie is known as the fifth highest-grossing movie in the history of cinema.
3. Harry Potter - $9.6 Billion
Consisting of the original line-up movies and its spin-off series, the Harry Potter franchise accounted for $9.6 billion total gross, making it one of the industry’s most successful movie franchises in history.
While the storyline is based on the popular book series by J.K. Rowling, the Harry Potter franchise gained traction for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, which grossed more than $1.3 billion worldwide upon its release back in 2011. To date, this movie franchise remains dominant in the field, covering even larger business opportunities, including theme parks and video games.
4. Spider-Man - $8.9 Billion
At $8.9 billion total gross, the Spider-Man franchise is recorded as the fourth highest-grossing film franchise, with its second most recent film, Spider-Man: No Way Home, earning nearly $2 billion at the worldwide box office.
Unlike its peer, the MCU, the Spider-Man films are not produced by Disney but rather by Sony Pictures. Despite the complicated arrangement, the two companies have reached a consensus over the franchise’s licenses.
5. James Bond - $7.9 Billion
Concluding the list of highest-grossing film franchises is the James Bond movie franchise, which has produced a whopping 27 movies spanning 60 years. Their most successful one was 2012’s Skyfall, accumulating a $1.1 billion total gross. As one of the longest-running film franchises in cinema history, the James Bond franchise has worked with several prominent actors playing its main characters, with names like Daniel Craig, Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and Pierce Brosnan on the list.
