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

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.

How much does it cost to open up a WalMart franchise?

And in the UK

We have 83-90% of all sales are VATable, leaves.

Royalty at 12.5-13.5% (depending on location in UK)

Food costs are now 30-33%

Vat on sales account's for about 17.5% of all sales (average 85%of sales hot or eat in HMRC investigation 2009 BTW Subway lost the appeal)

Labour costs around 22-28% (excludes holiday and sick entitlement)

Breakdown:

30-33 % Food Gross Sales

24% Labour Gross Sales

17.5 % to HMRC Grosss Sales

12.5 % to Subway Gross Sales

£400- £600 a month utilities

High Street Rent average £1700 PCM (waste disposal, accountancy, insurance, repairs wear and tear e.t.c)

Oh and the average Subway store sales are around £5500.00

Here's the breakup:

--------------------------------------------------------

Royality + marketing = 12.5 % of gross sale

Food Cost = 28 to 31 % of gross sale

So the average 40 % of gross sale is gone for above too.

Rest 60 % of gross sale is spent on :

Rent, Electricity, insurance, garbage, telephone , accounting,employee's salary, misc).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the example:

If you have Subway of $1000 (365k yearly) as an average sale per day, Here's the breakup:

40% of 365k for Royality and food : 146,000

4000 average rent for 12 months : 48,000

Electricity, insurance average for 12 months(1400*12) = 16,800

Garbage, telephone , accounting misc for 12 months(500*12) = 6000

Employee's salary for 12 months ( 5000*12) = 60,000

Sale Tax(NY) 8.5% on gross sale = 29,200

Net profit before tax = 59000

(365000- (146,000+48,000+16,800+6000+60,000+29,200)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your profit can increase or decrease by Rent and Employee's salary.

The average selling price of SUBWAY with above gross sale is 200k+.

Experience shows that leaving your job and investing in SUBWAY with

similar sale is advisable if you also plan to work in store and save salary

expense. Owners of Subway with sale below 300K yearly are not making deserving profit and their are tons of them available in market.

See the following article. Gives a good backdrop and analysis on Subway: http://thefranchisehound.com/?p=266

Why democracy is not possible without universal adult franchise?

It is based on equality which is a basic principle of democracy. It demands that the right to

vote should be equally available among all. To deny any class of persons from exercising

this right is to violate their right to equality. In fact, the spirit of democracy can be maintained

only if the people are given the right to vote without any discrimination. The exercise of

right to vote adds to the individual's self-respect, dignity, sense of responsibility, and political

and civic education. In other words, the system of adult franchise is the bedrock of a

democratic system. People are called political sovereign because they possess the right to

vote a government into power, or to vote a government out of power. That is why democracy

has sometimes been described as a mode of appointing, controlling and dismissing governments

by the people.

As provided for, in the Constitution of the land, the citizens cast their votes at regular

intervals to elect their representatives to the Parliament, to the Legislative Assemblies, and

such other institutions as are essential organs of political power in a democracy. These

institutions are called representative institutions precisely because they represent the will

Historically, adult franchise has been slow in making itself a universal law. In fact one of

the major demands in the long-drawn struggle for democracy in the world has been the

acceptance of the principle of universal adult franchise, as the basis of ascertaining the

wishes of people. Till the second decade of the twentieth century, not all the countries

were practising universal adult franchise. Many democratic systems had restricted to male

franchise only, based on property, education and other qualifications.

It is interesting to note that most of the western countries, which are known for their long

experience of some sort of representative system of governance, introduced adult franchise

only in the wake of the First World War (1914 - 18), a war which was proclaimed to be

fought by the Allied Powers (Great Britain, France and United States and the allies) to

make the 'world safe for democracy'. But while the 'defeated' Germany incorporated the principle of universal adult franchise in 1919, it took nine more years for Great Britain to Democracy at Work

extend franchise to women in 1928. In 1918, Britain had granted franchise to limited

number of women. It was decided that while all adult men, 21 years of age and above

would have the right to vote, women only above the age of 30 years could possess the

right to vote. This discrimination was removed only in 1928.

France, the land that gave the popular slogans of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity, could

introduce the right of universal adult franchise to its people only after the end of the

Second World War i.e. 1945. Equally strange is the fact that Switzerland, the home of

direct democracy denied the right to vote to women till 1973. India adopted the principle of

universal adult franchise when the present Constitution was enacted in 1949 which as you

know was implemented on January 26, 1950.

What major league baseball team has the fewest winning seasons in franchise history?

The 1906 Cubs went 116-36, which is the "modern" record. In the 1880s, certain league that were considered "major leagues" only had 60-game schedules, so of course some of those teams lost fewer than 36, but consider this the "official" record.

The NFL franchise in Decatur Illinois is now what team?

The Chicago Bears are the NFL franchise that once played in Decatur, Il.

The Bears were founded in 1919 by the A.E. Staley Co. (makers of a fine brand of corn starch) of Decatur ,Illinois. The company named the team The Decatur Staleys for their inaugural season.

In 1920 the A.E. Staley Company turned full ownership & control of the team over the coaches George Halas and Edward "Dutch" Sternaman. Halas and Sternaman joined the new APFA, American Professional Football Association in 1920, becoming one of the founding members of what would become the NFL (the APFA was renamed the National Football League in 1922.) George Halas bought out Sternaman in 1933 and the Halas family has controlled the Bears ever since.

Halas and Sternaman moved the team from Decatur to Chicago in 1921, renaming the team the Chicago Staleys. One year later, in 1922, they would change the name of the team to the Chicago Bears.

The Bears are considered to be the second oldest football organization in the NFL, with the oldest team being the now Arizona Cardinals, who trace their roots back to 1898.

*Suspended means not aloud to drive on your licence for a certain reason until that reason is fixed (ex.unpaid tickets) or until the date that you were legally given. You technically still obtain a licence it is just suspended.

*Revoked is having no licence whatso ever for a certain amount of time due to criminal charges or infractions against you. Being revoked you have no licence at all.

Difference between licensing and franchising?

Every franchise contains a license. Many licenses, on the other hand, are really disguised, illegal franchises. It doesn't matter what terms are used to define the relationship. What is critical are the presence of certain key elements that will define the relationship.

Who can open a hooters?

unless you have millions of dollars and make a good deal with the owner the chances are slim and none hooters is a privite corperation and i dont know if they are doing to good cause buffalo seems to have had all the hooters shut down on us and it sux

the majority of hooters restaurants are franchised owned, it does not take millions to open one......I won't say exactly how much but the franchisee must commit to opening 2-3 stores in that area over time.

one of the requirements (not written in stone) but is very preferred is that the owner has major restaurant experience.

you do not have to know anyone within the corporation to be considered and there is not an "owner". It is a corporation run by regular corporate officers...i.e. CEO, VP's. The CEO is the son of one of the founders.

trust me, hooters is doing just fine and continuing to grow especially in other countries.
