    Our process for creating our own modified Franchise List:
    1) culled the initial list with franchises consisting of a minimum of three movie titles that have been released or scheduled to release
    2) adjusted the remaining titles in each franchise for inflation
    3) totaled each franchise's titles
    4) ranked each franchise accordingly

    Our process for creating our own modified Franchise List:
    1) culled the initial list with franchises consisting of a minimum of three movie titles that have been released or scheduled to release
    2) adjusted the remaining titles in each franchise for inflation
    3) totaled each franchise's titles
    4) ranked each franchise accordingly
