Any movie ever
Though it's been more than 40 years since the original Star Warsfilm hit theaters and entranced moviegoers, since Disney purchased the franchise in 2012, they've been making up for lost time with new entries in the original space opera, plus a bunch of standalone series-including a new trilogy courtesy of Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Though it seems a bit unfair, the whole of the Marvel Cinematic Universe-including The Avengers, Iron Man, Captain America, and the Guardians of the Galaxy movies-is officially a single franchise in Hollywood's eyes.

Here are the 10 highest-grossing movie franchises of all time, based on worldwide box office stats, courtesy of The Numbers. And with Spider-Man: Far From Home coming in July, the franchise's dominance over all other film series will stretch well into 2019 and beyond. While Infinity War currently holds the Marvel Cinematic Universe's top spot for highest-grossing film with more than $2 billion worldwide, it's about to get some competition-not only from the next Avengers film, but also from Captain Marvel, which has already earned more than $760 million after just over one week in theaters. Especially considering how even the most enthusiastic prognosticators seemed to underestimate the earning potential of 2018's Avengers: Infinity War, which managed to smash all previous global opening weekend records with its massive $640.5 million global haul.

Avengers: Endgame-the final film in the Avengers series-doesn't even arrive in theaters until April 26, 2019, yet box office analysts are already predicting big things from the super-sized Marvel team-up.
