It’s hard to imagine what the movies would look like without sequels, spin-offs, and connected universes taking over the box office every weekend.

The top 10 movie franchises at the global box office have each grossed at least $6 billion. They range from ’60s and ’70s series like James Bond and the “Star Wars” movies to more contemporary releases like “The Fast and the Furious” and the DCEU.

The recent release of “Jurassic World Rebirth” might put the “Jurassic” franchise above some heavyweights like “Harry Potter” and “Spider-Man” once its run is over.

Business Insider used data from Box Office Mojo and The Numbers to identify the highest-grossing film franchises of all time.

Here’s how each of your favorite movie universes compares, including their number of films and their top-performing release.
