Harry Potter
The Harry Potter film franchise, based on J.K. Rowling's seven-book series, adapted its source material across eight films released between 2001 and 2011, largely retaining its core young cast — Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint — across the entire decade-long production, giving audiences a rare opportunity to watch child actors age into adulthood within the same continuous franchise. The franchise's combined box-office gross places it among the highest-earning film series in history, and its success is credited with helping sustain the young-adult fantasy film genre's commercial viability throughout the 2000s, directly influencing the greenlighting of numerous subsequent book-to-film fantasy adaptations. The Warner Bros. Studio Tour in Leavesden, England, built around preserved sets and props from the original films, has become one of the United Kingdom's most visited tourist attractions, reflecting the franchise's sustained commercial afterlife well beyond its theatrical release window. The franchise's later extensions, including the Fantastic Beasts prequel spinoff films and a stage play sequel, have had more mixed critical and commercial reception than the original series, and increasing public controversy surrounding author J.K. Rowling's statements on transgender issues has complicated the franchise's broader cultural standing in the years since the original films concluded.

Marvel Cinematic Universe
The Marvel Cinematic Universe began with 2008's Iron Man and pioneered the modern "shared universe" model of interconnected films, in which characters and plot threads carry across dozens of individually released movies rather than existing as standalone, unconnected sequels — a structural approach few studios had previously attempted at that scale. The franchise's 2019 film Avengers: Endgame, the culminating film of an 11-year, 22-movie storyline, became one of the highest-grossing films in history, reflecting the commercial payoff of Marvel Studios' unusually long-term, carefully coordinated multi-film narrative planning. Marvel's mid-credits and post-credits scene format, teasing future films within the shared franchise, became one of the most widely imitated marketing and storytelling techniques in modern blockbuster filmmaking, training audiences to stay through a film's full credits in anticipation of franchise-connecting reveals. The franchise's expansion into television through Disney+ series that directly connect to and affect the film storylines further blurred the traditional line between television and film franchise storytelling, and the MCU's combined box-office total across its films remains the highest of any film franchise in history.
