These are the 10 best movie franchises to binge-watch over the summer holidays

From Toy Story to Despicable Me, a new study has revealed the greatest movie franchises of all time, perfect for a summer holiday binge watch.

The study by Uswitch analysed combined scores from IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacritic, along with box office revenue and profitability, to reveal the highest (& lowest) rated movie franchises of all time. 

The Highest-Rated Movie Franchises 

The Toy Story Series is the highest rated franchise, with an average franchise score of 7.79 across its four films. Toy Story follows the adventures of a group of toys who spring to life when humans cannot see them, getting themselves into and out of trouble.

Continuing the trend of children’s animated series being the top-rated movie franchises is Finding Nemo, with an average franchise rating of 7.70 over its two-film run. Finding Nemo tells the incredible story of a father searching the big blue ocean for his lost son, who was captured by a human fish collector.

Rounding off the top three is the Incredibles (7.57/100). The Incredibles follows the life of a family of superheroes who have to go into hiding following public outcry at their actions.

The research also revealed the lowest-rated movie franchises: 

Twilight, the lowest-rated franchise on the list, earned an average movie score of just 2.93 across its five films. The series has received heated criticism over the years, however, despite criticism, the sequels raked in profits of over $400 million dollars each.
