Great film trivia question. When was the last year that the top three films in terms of box office failed to spawn a sequel, remake or franchise? - Volnelk 🍊 Dec 22, 09:50 13
- The answer is 1982. ET, Tootsie and Officer and a Gentleman. It used to be 88 but then they made a sequel to Coming to America. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Dec 22, 11:07
- Maybe 98 or 2000? -- nm - Loyola Dec 22, 10:10 8
  - Nope. Earlier. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Dec 22, 10:12 7
    - The top 3 films in 98 were Titanic, Armageddon and SPR. (I just checked) -- nm - Loyola Dec 22, 10:17 5
      - And a 1997 movie -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 22, 10:32

    - 95? Braveheart year -- nm - Loyola Dec 22, 10:14
- I think I'm confused with the question because all 3 of the movies you mentioned in 2001 spawned sequels. -- nm - MDH Dec 22, 09:54 2
  - I think the point of that selection was to say that all three WERE franchises, and since then the top three has had at least one franchise -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 10:00 1
