40 Favorite Franchises or When Will Someone Start Making Something Original?

My favorite film franchises. Franchises in the traditional sense (minimum 3 films).

I exclude 3 Colors, Before, Godfather, Toy Story etc... This focuses on things that are now referred to as 'universes' or have been rebooted or have rebootable DNA.

For those unaware, Dolemite is a franchise for the purpose of my life.

Pictured film is my franchise fav.
