De website Mania.com heeft deze top tien gemaakt met daar op de tien grootste film franchises ooit. Hier staan uiteraard series als Star Trek, Star Wars en Harry Potter op. Wat me wel verbaasde is dat Indiana Jones afwezig is en er wel drie horror series op staan, zoals:

7. A Nightmare on Elm Street

9 movies, $361 million box office.

In addition to the six films in the "pure" Nightmare series, we have Wes Craven's New Nightmare, the Freddy vs. Jason match up, and the 2010 reboot to bring the total to 9. That still only makes Freddy Krueger the third biggest slasher on this list... though with Robert Englund in the role, he always did his job with style.

Best Film in the Series: New Nightmare explored some fascinating connections between the artist and his creations, edging out the chilling original by a hair.

Most Profitable Film in the Series: Freddy vs. Jason landed $82 million when it opened in 2003.
