As of 2010 what is the most successful movie franchise of all time?

Answer 1

As of December 2010, Titanic (1997) has won and been nominated for the most Oscars. However, when it comes to box office receipts, Titanic (1997) falls short.

As of December 2010, Avatar (2009) holds the record for both domestic ($760,507,625) and worldwide ($2,779,551,867) box office receipts. However, when adjusted for inflation, Gone with the Wind (1939) holds the record for domestic box office receipts at $1,606,254,777, followed by Star Wars (1977) at $1,416,050,800, and The Sound of Music (1965) at $1,132,202,200. Avatar (2009) is ranked fourteenth in this category.

Judging a movie's success is problematic. Like comparing sports statistics over different eras, it is difficult to judge the success of a movie released in, say, 1939 with one released in the last couple of years. The population has increased dramatically in the last 70 years. Some movies released many years ago have been re-released several times over the years, while others have not. If you judge a movie's success by the number of tickets sold, you should consider the country's and the world's population. Fifty million people buying tickets for given movie today is not as impressive as fifty million people doing so 70 years ago. In terms of ticket sales, the best statistic would be what percentage of the population went to see the movie.
