If you ever want to find yourself working in the film industry you should probably take a moment to learn from some of the greats in the business. Video production schools don’t aim to churn out arthouse directors and set workers, they want to churn out money makers. So in order to really appreciate the final incentives involved in making movies, let’s take a look at some of the biggest franchises of all time. Before you get your into commercial video production, take a look at this list.
Pixar Animations
Though Pixar technically dwarfs all of the other franchises on this list, it only gets included on a technicality. The Pixar-Disney Animations include the Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, and Cars franchises — along with a few others. Pixar has been in the business of making high quality, heart warming, and cinematically sound animated films since the early ’90s and they are the best at what they do. With 14 films in their catalog, Pixar has already earned over $3.5 billion dollars in the United States alone. Not bad, eh?

Jurassic Park
Jurassic Park is a novel written by the late Michael Crichton. The first book was adapted for the silver screen by Stephen Spielberg and has since spawned three more films in the franchise. The latest release, Jurassic World, shattered domestic box office records by having the highest grossing opening weekend of all time. With a mega star at the center of the franchise in Chris Pratt, and sequels lined up already, we know that Jurassic Park will rapidly ascend this list of blockbuster franchises. In any event, for the cinematic quality of the first Jurassic Park alone, they deserve to be listed in our Top 10.
