Fandom have taken a look at the most powerful franchises on television, film and games, ranking them with what they call the Franchise Factor Score, “a single, definitive metric that looks beyond the financials to define the driving forces behind entertainment and gaming franchise success” and the great news is that Star Wars is sitting at the top of those franchise tree rankings.
Star Wars, with a score of 100, is No. 1 on the list, buoyed by Disney+ hit series “Ahsoka.” That’s followed by Marvel (87), with movie releases this year including “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” and “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”; and “One Piece” (72), the popular manga that has been adapted as a live-action series for Netflix and recently renewed for season 2.
The company said the Franchise Factor Score is based on a survey of about 5,000 gaming and entertainment fans in the U.S. and U.K., coupled with first-party data from Fandom’s platform (which attracts 350 million monthly unique visitors and features 40 million pages of content).
