Star Trek is franchise. Up is, arguably, Pixar franchise. - ty97 Jun 19, 12:23 12
- none of them are sequels. you said sequels. and underperforming relative to expectations is how Wall Street judges things -- nm - dug Jun 19, 12:25 6
  - Star Trek isn't a sequel? - ty97 Jun 19, 12:26 5
    - it's no more a sequel than Batman Begins or Superman Reborn were - dug Jun 19, 12:28
    - No, it's not -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 12:27
    - no. a reboot is not a sequel. - znufrii Jun 19, 12:27
    - I think it's a franchise. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 12:27 1
      - For purposes of my argument, the sequel/franchise distinguishment really doesn't matter. - ty97 Jun 19, 12:29
- Pixar is a franchise? -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 12:24 3
  - arguably, perhaps. It's more a brand, which serves much the same function in selling a film as being a franchise. -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 12:25 2
    - that's like saying Spielberg is a franchise. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 12:27 1
      - it's a much broader definition than is usually applied to the term. I would classify Spielberg as more of a brand. - znufrii Jun 19, 12:28
- Guy? -- nm - Spawn Jun 19, 12:24
