1. Marvel Cinematic Universe (Nine movies) - $2,463.3 billion and counting
2. Harry Potter (Eight movies) - $2,390.1 billion (next film, Fantastic Beasts, TBA)

4. James Bond (24 Movies) - $1,912.8 billion (Next film November 2015)
5. Batman (Eight Movies) $1,897.8 billion (Next film May 2016)
6. Lord of the Rings (Six movies) $1,622.0 billion (Next film December)

9. Twilight (Five movies) $1,363.5 billion
10. Pirates of the Caribbean (Four movies) $1,279.2 billion (Next film 2016)
U.S. history?
Is there a non-hollywood series that has made more than 2,500 billion?
Edit: Oh nevermind, US Gross
I suppose if you roll up all of Dr Who's 50 years and adjust for inflation?
Considering Doctor Who is a BBC TV show that only had a handful of theater releases that would be pretty negligible
It said franchise, so I went with a franchise and didn't limit it to movie franchises.
Yes but that still wouldn't be comparable? You'd have to bring in merchandising since Dr. Who doesn't directly make profits like movies do with ticket sales and I am 100% confident that Marvel makes more in merchandise than Dr. Who
So Bendis says Flash is gonna become bros with Drax in his Guardians, as well as get a "cosmic makeover". Also after Original Sin there will be an Annual in August with Frank Cho that will get the series back on track with it's own plotlines as opposed to just bouncing between events.
I hope he doesn't get too much of an overhaul, he has an amazing costume.
Also apparently Venom was a more popular candidate to be the BIG EARTH HERO joining the team than Iron Man
Ugh, Frank Cho? If Guardians wasn't my favorite team, I'd be skipping that annual.

Man what
I mean Cho is definitely obnoxiously cheesecakey and has horrible taste in comics but the dude is a very talented artist:

That's very pretty but that sword being behind caps leg makes that perspective crazytown
Yeah, there are two minor things wrong - Thor's right-hand sword should be above Cap's leg, and Cap's hands should be more firmly gripping the sword. Damn thing looks like he's dropping it.
He also has HORRIBLE taste in comics. He redrew the TDKR Superman fight scene and changed the dialogue so that Bruce says "I'll always beat you because YOU'RE A GIANT PUSSY!"
Which is also pretty sexist!
Like I would never buy a comic the dude is writing but that doesn't change the fact that he is good at artstuff

Frank Cho drawing Angela is going to be...something
Fantastic Four is just about the last franchise I would want to be grounded. I mean, shit, Fantastic is literally in the name
This just makes me worried that Sue Storm doesn't have a super suit because it's less "grounded" for her to be able to turn her clothes invisible, and so she'll just have to be naked when she wants to be invisible.
This is the same company that gave us naked Mystique, after all.

I can't be bothered to verify, but didn't they already do that with Jessica Alba in the first movie?

that's my memory, too
definitely a "gag" where she loses her clothes due to invisibility mishaps.

If you expanded the MCU to all Marvel Movies/TV shows then you might have a fair race, but otherwise Star Wars is a god damned juggernaut
Four main, and then Puss in Boots
there were four main shrek movies?
Yeah that was the one that surprised me the most
Ugh, Frank Cho? If Guardians wasn't my favorite team, I'd be skipping that annual.
Why the hell isn't there more amadeus cho in marvel now
There's so many and only so many books
Doesn't mean it doesn't bum me out though

but it was a pretty shitty book
I wish there was more of him, yeah, but they didn't forget about him
That's very pretty but that sword being behind caps leg makes that perspective crazytown
Thor slashed with his axe and knocked Cap backwards, I don't see how Thor's sword being between Cap's legs as he does so fucks with the perspective?
Look at their sizes and thor's arms
They are both in profile and proportional, so they're standing on the same plane
For that sword to be between cap's legs, Thor's right arm would need to be in the middle of caps body
But if they're on the same plane that means his arms are like, in a full spread t-position up and down, but that's not how it looks at all
It's bending my brain trying to make all those things work together

Although that one isn't Cho's fault, nobody can draw her in that stupid costume without it looking super cheesecakey
Though I guess it's that line of thinking that gave us Liefeld's Cap.
WHAT THIS NEEDS IS MORE GROUNDED
The sets could burn down and the actors could quit and they'd still say they were on track to film because Marvel CANNOT get those rights back.
They'll make it a shaky cam mockumentary for $200 before they let that happen.
I dunno that reminds me of those pictures where liefeld clearly drew the sword and the hand independently
It's not a bad drawing its just a little wonky in spots

Sue is just ignored a lot
Ben takes steroids
Reed is just lanky
Johnny has a lighter
But Reed still has the ultimate nullifier in a box in the basement.
