OK I know what you're thinking; "This has been done before" .... Well no it hasn't. Not published anyway. Due to very few sources with worldwide box office information and even fewer accurate ones, most of the above is based on Box Office Mojo's worldwide gross figures for each installment of each franchise and then totalled from there. There are some movies that had no information at all such as 4 of the Superman movies, the first Batman movie (1966) and the cartoon version of The Lord of the Rings. I have all the numbers saved and will update regularly for the franchises currently in theatres so if you think there is something wrong with the numbers just let me know and I can check.

Yeah, Lord of the Rings first =) ! Very nice quiz. Surprised they ain't Karate Kid, Die Hard, Tarzan or even Superman though( unless I misunderstand the sense of franchise ). Oh and I forgot James Bond, completely forgot him ...

Hmm i look into Karate Kid. I did do Die Hard though and its total gross for all 4 movies is 1130.4 which puts it at 26th, one place behind Madagascar. As i said above out of the 5 Superman movies, i could only find worldwide box office info on the first and most recent movies. the middle 3 had nothing so i have left it out.

For what it's worth technically Avatar and Titanic qualify on their own, though I'm not sure you can really sure you can have a one film franchise.
