In terms of popularity, money, merchandising, etc. ?

Star Wars.

If the first movie is any indication, then the Avengers will probably become the biggest franchise.

But as it is now, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and LOTR are the ones that easily come to mind.

Star Wars has another trilogy coming out and has been huge in merchandise for decades.

Star Wars, easy.

Hellen Keller would know this.

Adjusting for inflation, Star Wars is likely #1

Yeah, Star Wars is still the king.

I love how well the Marvel franchise has done though; people I never imagined liking comics would talk about how much they loved Avengers. Marvel's becoming a powerhouse at this point.

Also Star Wars is still incredibly popular with merchandising and legacy.

*boom*

Harry Potter is the only thing i could think of that would be close to Star Wars.


box office total:

Harry Potter - $7.7b
Star Wars - $4.2b

franchise total:

Harry Potter - $24b
Star Wars - $27b

Harry Potter has 2 more movies and it's done. Star Wars has another trilogy (possibly more) coming.

Star Wars is the clear winner.

SW does a lot of winning here in the MVF.

It's not fair to really compare the franchise total at this point since Star Wars has thirty or so plus years on Harry Potter.

Harry Potter lost, deal with it.

It took Star Wars years to come back to the big screen and with all the money the Harry Potter franchise made you can bet your ass it will come back to the big screen.

And you'll be there to finally watch it for the first time.

Bottom line, Star Wars wins.

A New Hope sold 178 million tickets, Empire 98 million and ROTJ 94 million tickets.

For comparison, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone sold 55 million tickets. The highest in the series.

30 year head start has to be factored in. Only a fool would ignore that clear fact.

No it won't. J.K. Rowling isn't like George Lucas. She's not going to shamelessly cash in with a Voldemort prequel trilogy. I'm sure if HP films were released about a decade or so down the line, they would also make big cash just as the SW prequels did, but Rowling has no need to do that since she is an artist trying to tell a story and that story is complete, unlike money-grubbing lardass George Lucas, who completely destroyed the great mythology of his films to sell toys.

I'm not ignoring it, Star Wars is still bigger regardless of the head start it had. It's almost hardwired into human DNA coding. I like the HP movies but nothing can come close to the global appeal and longevity of Star Wars.

That has to do with whether or not she writes more books I am sure that Warner Bros. can press on without her just like Star Wars has escaped Lucas' clutches.

We've been through this before. eg the person who goes to see Iron Man 3 isn't going to not go see Man of Steel simply because he's seen Iron Man 3 already. Movie tickets are movie tickets. It's not like cars where if you buy a Chevy product, you're done for a length of time and aren't going to go buy a Ford or Toyota in the next month or so.

Think.

Think. Kids are growing up being exposed to something they otherwise wouldn't be due to the films. People feel nostalgic which means they tend to support something.

Exposure equals change. Think.

Originally posted by quanchi112

What amps the Star Wars series above Harry Potter, in terms of net worth and popularity, is that while HP is a great series about great characters, Star Wars was a completely original (people have known about witches and wizards for centuries, but Jedi?), genre busting (Harry Potter is clearly pure fantasy, whereas Star Wars is fantasy, sci-fi, and adventure) spectacle with THE best special effects up to that time. While Harry Potter did have an already large fanbase from the books, Star Wars has an immortal place in culture, because seeing
Star Wars in 1978 for the first time was an event, because, as stated, never before has sci fi and fantasy been combined into an epic film. It's probably one of the best showcases of originality in human history, which is why, for all I complain about Lucas, he completely deserves his billions, because while Harry Potter is a great story, Lucas pretty much expanded the bounds of the human imagination.

Now you're just rambling cos you have no answer and realize your stance was ridiculous.

Put it this way. You're planning (or have)on watching Iron Man 3. Do you plan on not watching MoS because you've already spent your money on IM3? See: Competition. Exactly. Think.

SW, then ST or HP.

Good call on ST.

Speaking of Harry Potter, OT, but did anybody see that horrible joke in the trailer for "This is The End", in which Emma Watson steals supplies from the protagonists, prompting Danny McBride to ruin the joke immediately and spout "We just got robbed by Hermione". No phucking shit. It's like Seltzerberg-level comedic writing.

i doubt you can even make a case about it being more popular. Star Trek is still pretty niche; even with the new movies, there aren't many people became hardcore fans who weren't already.

Merchandising would be the only area where it competes with the other two.

Iyo but this rather can become subjective and quickly. I feel while the original Star Wars was groundbreaking at the time the acting wasn't exceptional in New Hope IMO.


A fan base that greatly increased when it came out.

I greatly prefer Harry Potter both in terms of storytelling and characters to that of Star Wars.

No you didn't. Stop lying.

If you're just factoring movie ticket sales. Sure.

James Bond is another heavy hitter as well in the movie ticket department.

I would say James Bond beats Star Wars. Bond pretty much created the action genre as we know it.

There's other list and they vary with the exact $$$ figs, but Bond is still top in ticket sale $$$. 23 films will do that though.

edit: **** me, Skyfall made 1.1billion.

uhh no. Bond franchise has only made $8b total with $1.2b of that coming from the box office.

the site i was getting my numbers from only has Skyfall's worldwide box office gross at 794m... apparently it hasn't been updated in a while. Even still, Bond is no where near Star Wars or Harry Potter.

Total ballpark Potter wipes its ******* with Star Trek. It's a niche and that's it. Te new reboots give it hope since they aren't trash which can appeal to the general public.

James Bond isn't close either in terms of merchandising.

Star Wars will probably have its own theme park in the near future due to Disney owning it now. So there goes your desperate "theme park! theme park!" bubble. Also talks of renewing the SW TV show idea. More $$$.

Would Star Trek in any way count? Because there's the old movies, the old TV show, the new TV show, the spin-offs, and now the new movies. Not to mention the serious amount of Trekkies and the huge amount of money made by buying/making costumes, auctioning off "retro" props... etc. etc.

By your own reasoning Potter wins if we just look at the box office. Just try to be more clever when it comes to your trolling. You're slipping.

Quanchi doesn't understand the concept of inflation and prices. I tried letting him know on page 6, but he rage ignored. What he does when he can't grasp something

The 774million is in 1977 dollars. As I said, you don't understand inflation.

The 774million is in 1977 dollars. As I said, you don't understand inflation. We don't adjust for inflation. The only fair way is total dollars made in each category. Potter wins at the box office and collectively when we factor all properties despite a 30 year head start.

if the books don't count for HP considering they came before the movies, then that takes away $7.7b from the franchise total, dropping it down to $16.3b.

-made claim that you adjusted for inflation-

Stop embarrassing yourself.

also, George Lucas' net worth somehow got factored into that total for Star Wars... subtract that nonsense ($3.5b) and Star Wars is at $23.5b

Stop embarrassing yourself. in his defense, it was my claim. I was looking at two different sources and got mixed up.

Yeah, the $775m wasn't adjusted.

Stop embarrassing yourself. The websites don't do so which give this data. The website also doesn't factor in amusement park revenue.

Potter wins both ways.



Does it just eat you alive ?

Which is fair enough if he had the balls to say "ah, okay, I see the error" after being shown he was wrong, but he goes on to embarrass himself further with "we don't adjust for inflation" now claims. Cos it ruins his "HP win!!!!1" ranting.

Funny how everyone jumped all over Star Wars shit until I showed up.

Avada Kedavra.

Now you're flipping back to "everything" and not just the movies cos you were wrong. Constant flips.

Harry Potter isn't at the top with the movies. The facts > you.

Show some theme park figures if you want to include that. Don't just make up shit like you usually do.

Why would being correct cos I can support my claims eat me up alive. What a silly question.

It's going to be hilarious watching you bandwagon onto Star Wars when the new films start coming out. "Oh yeah, I was #1 fan all along!"

The website incorrectly added Lucas net worth. Despite a 30 year difference Potter still wins.

How awesome is Harry Potter. Cream always rises to the top.

I have always favored magic even as a youth in Gauntlet I always picked the wizard over the shitty barbarian.

Stop lying, you hate Star Wars just as you hate DC. Anyhow.

Your sources tell me:

27b for SW
24b for HP

Simple math skills tell me SW > HP.

Now claim how the SW figures are just wrong on that site but correct for HP.

same site i used. It's the one that didn't factor in inflation for Star Wars.

Subtract 3.6 billion from Star Wars as George Lucas net worth means shit here.

Potter wins.

Despite a 30 year start Potter still wins. Funny thing is I enjoy Star Wars I just prefer Harry Potter. One minute you claim I'll cling to Star Wars while the next you're saying I hate them. Make up your mind.

So it's even more in favor of Star Wars then. lol.

Funny thing, A New Hope beats the top HP flick is sales.

Quan, what difference does the 30 year headstart make? It's not like the movies were in theaters for 30 years non-stop.
