Transcripts

Darren:

Foreign.

Marc:

Hello and welcome to the second ever Movies in a Nutshell top 10 quiz. Oh, these two have no idea what this is going to be about.

Paul:

No idea.

Darren:

Yeah. Not to be, because I kind of want to be competitive, but anything. I don't even know if this is going to be like 10 questions about Twilight. Then.

Marc:

No.

Darren:

What can I do?

Marc:

I'm trying to keep it as broad as possible. So for you guys and for the listeners.

Paul:

Oh, okay, I know.

Darren:

Let's have a spelling.

Marc:

Last time. Last time we had the highest grossing movies of all time. This time we're going to do the top 10 highest grossing franchises of all time.

That did creep into it last time, but it's going to give out some interesting. And last time Paul beat Darren. So there. It's currently 1 nil in the series.

Paul:

Oh, no. You're not like keeping her off track?

Marc:

Oh, absolutely.

Paul:

I hate being competitive. He likes being competitive. So this is just.

Darren:

No, I'm fine.

Marc:

How are we feeling about this gentleman?

Darren:

I don't think I'll get it.

Paul:

Franchises. Yeah, bring it. Let's. Let's give it a. Let's give it a go. In the words of gary eats from YouTube.

Marc:

Okay, so how this works. Darren and Paul will each take turns guessing a franchise in the top 10.

One point for every correct entry and the winner will be whoever has the most points. Once the board is completed, feel free to play along at home.

Grab a pen, grab some paper, make some notes on your phone, and let's see if you can beat Darren and or Paul.

Darren:

Okay, we need some ground rules because I does.

Marc:

Wait a minute, wait a minute. I am getting to the rules. There are some rules. I've thought about this.

Paul:

Both me and Darren, both champion of the beer here. Like what up? What about. What about.

Marc:

So this is worldwide theatrical. Theatrical box off only. No streaming, no tv, no merchandise, no games, no books, no theme parks. Shared universe count as a single franchise.

Spin offs count if they belong to that franchise. And I've taken these ratings from box office mojo.

Paul:

So if anyone just go back.

Marc:

So like Batman is part of dc, so it's all grouped into one.

Paul:

So you.

Marc:

DC is a franchise.

Paul:

So we're not naming like movies individually.

Marc:

You know, we can do. Batman is part of dc. So you've got Marvel, you've got dc.

Paul:

No. So that'd just be two answers then.

Darren:

Yeah.

Marc:

Well, the mcu. Yeah, that's a franchise.

Paul:

Mmm.

Marc:

DC Universe. That's a franchise.

Paul:

Marvel technically overlaps with some of the Sony stuff.

Marc:

Anyway, listen, let's just listen to What I'm saying, spin offs, shared universe counts as one franchise. Spin offs count if they belong to that franchise. So I've gone. I've gone from box office mojo. Theatrical. Theatrical box office mojo.

Paul:

I was thinking that.

Marc:

And the quiz master's decision is finally. Yeah, that's me, by the way.

Paul:

I. I feel there's plot holes in these rules, but.

Marc:

Okay, so like last time, I've also got the top 20. So if you guess when it's out the top 20, I'll tell you what it is. So give you some sort of reference.

Paul:

But you don't want specific movies. You want the franchise. And then we guess movies off the back of it just for a laugh.

Marc:

Yeah. So things like. Well, we'll figure it out.

Paul:

We'll figure it out.

Darren:

Okay.

Marc:

But some movies are a franchise on their own.

Paul:

Yeah, yeah.

Marc:

But some part. Some are part of a group.

Paul:

Yeah.

Marc:

Owned by DC or Marvel.

Paul:

Okay.

Marc:

They're the obvious ones.

Darren:

Yeah, I've got it. I'm gonna win.

Marc:

Okay, this is fighting talk.

Paul:

I'm lost, but I'll throw stuff at you. It's fine.

Marc:

So how do we decide who goes first? So we will. Paul was last week's winner, so he gets to choose the number first. So it's.

Darren:

What the hell you should have been like. Paul was last year's win, last week's winner and Darren was last week's loser, so he can go first.

Paul:

No, listen, didn't you go first last time?

Marc:

Finished yet? I haven't finished. Paul was last week's winner, so he gets to choose the number first. Between one or two. I've picked a number. One or two.

Paul:

Oh. Oh. See, you jumped ahead.

Marc:

If he gets the number wrong, then you're going first.

Darren:

I love the episodes where we frustrate. We're being told off.

Marc:

It's like looking after toddlers.

Paul:

This is what we've been very well behaved.

Marc:

So four. One or two? Two. It is one. So Darren is going first.

Paul:

He goes first every time we've done this.

Marc:

Yeah, but you still won. He went first last time and you won.

Paul:

I know, but this time sounds like he's fighting. This time.

Darren:

Things tend to work out in my favor.

Marc:

Right, Darren? The first guess is to you.

Darren:

There's a lot of different directions. I could take this, but I think it's a curveball. Otherwise you wouldn't have picked this. I'm going to go Star Trek.

Marc:

Star Trek is not in there.

Darren:

Not at all.

Marc:

No, man. It's not even in the top 20.

Paul:

Damn.

Marc:

Over to Paul.

Paul:

Harry Potter.

Darren:

That's valid.

Marc:

Yep. So we've calling this the Wizard Wizarding World. So Harry Potter Fantastic Beasts.

Paul:

Oh, okay. So you're combining that in the.

Marc:

Yeah. The wizarding world of number three at 9.6 billion.

Paul:

So that's the combined Harry Potter and.

Marc:

All the Harry Potters. Yeah.

Paul:

And that's three.

Marc:

Number three. Wowzers. 9.6 Billion. Which weird because we think there was some movie franchises that weren't far off.

Paul:

That I think we now know what's number one. But yeah. Wowzers.

Darren:

I'm just gonna play it safe and go with MCU because.

Marc:

Yes, that is number one.

Darren:

Yeah. Endgame.

Paul:

Got to be.

Marc:

So that is 32.5 billion.

Darren:

I just. I just feel like it's not a marker quality because MCU's got some great movies but also got some trash.

Marc:

But it's just overall and also it's new.

Darren:

Star Trek's been going for since like the 70s.

Paul:

Yeah. But kind of made the Wonga that the MCU did. But the MCU as a franchise, it's going to be number one because like.

Marc:

There's a lot of them.

Paul:

A, there's a lot of them. And B, the one. Some of the ones within that were in our top 10 of all time. Like what was it? There was the Avengers. End game.

Darren:

Yeah. Yeah.

Paul:

Infinity War. That's good call.

Marc:

Okay.

Darren:

Are you gonna go for Paul?

Paul:

Oh, me again. So going on that basis, it's combined, isn't it? No, it's got to be up there.

So if we're calling it a franchise of a world, then the Avatar movies must somehow be in this mix somewhere at least. Surely the Avatar world.

Marc:

No. Oh my word.

Darren:

So it's only three.

Paul:

Yeah, but individually they're kind of up there, aren't.

Darren:

Yeah. Billion each.

Paul:

Not.

Marc:

Yeah, but not the last one.

Paul:

Not the last one. I knew this really counting to just two movies there, but I thought them two had made that much. It might have still creeped into the franchise.

That's interesting. I'm a bit like the Star Trek thing that I'm like, Jesus.

Marc:

Okay, over to you, Darren.

Darren:

I mean there's. I feel like I keep going niche, but just because you've been going so long. No, I'm not going to do that. No, it's got to be. I wanna go James Bond.

Marc:

Yes, that's good call. James Bond is number five at 7.9 billion.

Paul:

Also. Damn you. Because that's where I was going next.

Marc:

There we go. So over to you, Mr. Day.

Paul:

Okay, let's go. Got two floating in my head. Now, let's say DC, because you're gonna have to combine your Batmans, Superman, Justice League's Aquamans. Yeah.

Surely dc, it's not gonna have made anywhere near as much as mcu, but surely it might be floating around.

Marc:

Yes, it is number seven at 7.2 billion. Yeah. Darren, over to you.

Darren:

Got two in my back pocket.

Paul:

I forgot what my other one was.

Darren:

Now, I reckon Worldwide. I reckon. I reckon Fast and Furious could be up there.

Marc:

Yes, that was one of the number six. Fast and furious, 7.3 billion.

Paul:

I mean, the seventh one took some.

Darren:

Highly good script writers.

Paul:

What do you mean? They flew cars in space. Awesome. What more do you want?

Marc:

Right, Paul, over to you.

Paul:

Okay. If that's up there, I feel this might not have made the top 10. Darren's gonna whip my ass here.

Darren:

That's only on Sundays.

Paul:

Let's throw it in. Although I think the last two underperformed more than they thought they would. But there's still like eight of them. Mission Impossible.

Marc:

Yes, but it's not in the top 10.

Paul:

Ah, this is what I thought. Thought it's not gonna have made enough.

Marc:

To get number 14 at 4.1 billion.

Paul:

14. Interesting. So I don't get a point because it's in the top ten?

Marc:

Nope. Damn it. Darren is currently winning three to one.

Darren:

We kind of run out of ideas. I. I've got two more ideas, but I think I'm gonna lean towards Star Wars.

Marc:

Yes. Star wars isn't. Star wars is number two at 10.5 billion.

Paul:

I suppose that makes sense because if you combine the old ones with the new sequel ones as well.

Darren:

Yeah, but even the menace. I mean, I hate those movies. But they did well.

Paul:

Oh, they did big money. They were in the top box office for a long time.

Marc:

Over to you, Mr. Dave.

Paul:

What about. Did you include Spider Man's as part of the mcu or is Spider man different? Because that's Sony and.

Marc:

Yes, that's different.

Paul:

Six of them. I got six. We've got three Tobey Maguires, two Andrew Garfields. No way. Homemade Bank. Far from home. Yeah. You've still got the Tom Holland ones. Okay.

Spider Man.

Marc:

Yes.

Paul:

Yes.

Marc:

Spider man is number four. Nine billion.

Darren:

Jesus. That's surprising.

Marc:

It is.

Paul:

Well, it's surprising that you take them out of the MCU and it's still making back.

Darren:

Yeah, yeah.

Paul:

Sonny did pretty well at Spiderman there. Okay, I'm back on the board.

Marc:

We're at the halfway point. It's Darren. Four Paul two.

Paul:

Said like a man who's wearing a football top.

Darren:

Yeah.

Marc:

Yes. My commitment to England are playing right now, and I'm here doing this.

Paul:

Oh, our commitment, too. Me and Darren are gutted, though, in the game.

Darren:

What are they playing?

Marc:

Sportball.

Darren:

Oh, yeah.

Paul:

Oh, sportball. That's our favorite kind of ball. Yeah.

Marc:

At the halfway point, Darren has four, Paul has three.

Paul:

Oh, I feel better now.

Darren:

Now it's closer.

Paul:

Yeah.

Marc:

Yeah.

Darren:

It's tense.

Paul:

Right.

Darren:

Mr. Horn, I shall go with. I don't think it's going to be up there, but I'm going to go with Jurassic Park.

Marc:

Yes. Jurassic park is number eight at 6.9 billion. They've got it down as Jurassic park slash Jurassic World. So it's like.

Yeah, the older ones and the later ones.

Paul:

Oh, objection, your honor. That makes sense. I was going to go there at some point anyway.

Marc:

Separately. Neither of them would be in there.

Paul:

No. It's amazing.

Marc:

Well done. That's Darren.

Paul:

Yeah.

Marc:

I've got one over to you, Mr. Day.

Paul:

Don't think it'll have cracked the top 10, but I'm gonna have to throw it out there because there's only three of them. Oh, no. There might be six of them because they'll combine the hobbits in with them. Oh. Let's go. Lord of the Rings world. Yeah.

Marc:

Number 10. They've called it Middle Earth.

Paul:

That'll do.

Marc:

I'll take the rings and the Hobbit.

Paul:

Only 10?

Marc:

Yeah.

Paul:

Wow.

Marc:

Yeah. 5.9 Billion, so it's number 10.

Paul:

Nice.

Marc:

Oh, this is getting good. This is getting good.

Paul:

What we are now is that as equal.

Marc:

Darren's on five, you are on four. Damn it.

Darren:

Jesus. So it's going to. Oh, okay.

Marc:

One. There's one left. Number nine.

Darren:

Okay. I really cannot think of any major franchise. It's been going for a long time.

Other than I've only got one that I can think of, but I don't think it's going to be there. But I said that last time. I'm so close to winning. What is the winning answer? I don't think it's there, but I'm gonna go with Alien.

It's like nine movies are there with AVP as well. I was thinking it's a little bit of sorcery.

Paul:

Yeah, it's quite a lot.

Marc:

Not really box office smashes, though.

Paul:

No.

Marc:

Right. Over to you, Mr. Day.

Paul:

You know what? I think we're missing a really obvious one. Legally Blonde.

Marc:

No.

Paul:

Nice try, though.

Darren:

Step up.

Paul:

What number are they in the charts?

Marc:

This is number nine. We're missing number nine. So middle. So like Lord of the Rings. 10 With 5.9 billion.

Paul:

I don't know if you'll class this as a franchise, but is it Disney, as in Disney animation? Does that not class as a franchise in itself?

Marc:

It just counts as a company studio?

Darren:

You could say.

Paul:

Yeah, but like, like Disney animation, surely.

Marc:

Disney animation combined box office mojo doesn't count Disney now.

Darren:

Box office mojo. Welcome to box office mojo.

Marc:

So it's over to Darren.

Darren:

Yeah, I got nothing left. Okay. So I can't think of anything fantasy Y. There's dumb stuff. We've said Star Trek. We've said James Bond. We've said everything.

I feel like it's gotta have a lot of movies because it's not. They're not gonna be massive billion dollar movies. So it's gonna be a lot of littleish movies.

Paul:

It's because it's around Lord of the Rings here, isn't it? So you're talking and we've done.

Darren:

We did Mission Impossible, didn't we?

Paul:

That didn't hit the top 10.

Darren:

No. How does that not hit the top 10?

Paul:

I know.

Darren:

You said Harry Potter. Yeah.

Marc:

Mission impossible is 14th with 4.1 man.

Darren:

I genuinely can't think of. You said Avatar as well, which is huge. I mean, if Alien's not up there, okay, I'm gonna.

I can't imagine it is, but I can't think of any other franchises. So I'm gonna go with Terminator.

Marc:

Nope. Over to you, Mr. Paul Day.

Paul:

I've got an idea, but it's a bit of a long shot. Got an idea, but I need a Hail Mary pass right now. So what about the fifth ones coming out? But there's four of them already.

Jaws and the no shoulders coming out. Stop feeding me bad ideas. The fifth one's coming out and everyone I've spoke to on the planet's like, oh, I'll have to go and see it with my kids.

Is Toy Story in there?

Marc:

Oh, yes, but it's not in the top 10.

Darren:

Oh, wow. That was a good choice.

Paul:

Good call.

Marc:

16Th 16 with 3.3 billion.

Paul:

Wow. Okay, that's shaking.

Darren:

It's gotta be something that has, like conventions or people involved. Okay. It's not Terminator. It's not gonna be Predator.

Marc:

So would we like some start to give out some clues?

Paul:

No, not yet.

Marc:

We're only saying that because it's his turn. Not. Yeah, who's you? Yes, please.

Paul:

Yeah, go on, bring the clues. Okay, clues. But if he wins this because of this clue, I'm walking out here.

Marc:

So think of more superhero type stuff.

Paul:

No, don't give him that kind of clue.

Marc:

That's not DC or Marvel. I can hear the cogs turn.

Paul:

What the damn hell? That's.

Darren:

Yeah, I've got nothing. If it's. I can think of stuff. But they're not big. Not big enough. Superhero stuff. That isn't DC or Marvel. It's just nothing.

Paul:

I'm struggling with that one as well. Your clue has made it worse.

Darren:

Just keep thinking of smaller characters in DC or Marvel. They haven't got franchises.

Paul:

Yeah, I do. Or ones that would be nowhere near the top 10 all time.

Marc:

I think we're at the point where we need. We need some punts, need some guesses. Even if you think it's.

Darren:

Dude, there are no guesses to be had.

Marc:

Are you passing?

Darren:

Yeah.

Paul:

Okay. Is it back to me, then?

Marc:

It's back to you.

Paul:

Okay, so I gave him a clue.

Marc:

I'll give you a clue.

Paul:

Oh, okay.

Marc:

So think of a collection of superheroes.

Paul:

Yeah, but they would come under DC or Marvel.

Marc:

Yeah, well, there's one here that's listed. I'm assuming. I don't know. I'm assuming it's not part of that. Otherwise, this is. There's an error here, but I don't. I don't think so.

Paul:

See, I could say Avengers, but that's technically not.

Marc:

It's not Avengers.

Paul:

Okay, so I was gonna say. Because that's part of mcu.

Darren:

Exactly. Like, Suicide Squad is a collection, but.

Paul:

But that's part of dc, so. A collection.

And I know there's like, the Incredibles from their Pixar, but if Toy Story hasn't made the top 10, then they ain't making it because they've only made two of them. So we're thinking logistically over here, okay, there's stuff like Constantine and things which, like, different kind of comic books.

Vertigo and all this, but there's no way Constantine's.

Darren:

No, there's one film still dc, you go like the Crow, because there's been about nine of them.

Paul:

Yeah, but it's not gonna make that bank, is it?

Darren:

Oh, no bank. No bank for the Crow.

Paul:

I'm literally going through the superheroes. Oh, yes. X Men.

Marc:

Yes. Here we go.

Paul:

By Fox. It's not part of the mcu.

Darren:

That's a technicality. Nerd.

Marc:

Yes, that is number X Men. And, like, Slash, Deadpool.

Paul:

Yeah.

Marc:

All on by the same thing.

Paul:

Yeah.

Marc:

Because they're 6.1 billion. I did not. I'm surprised. That's.

Paul:

So. So that's now owned by mcu, but at the time when all the originals came out. Is up on by 20th Century Fox. So that's kind of a bit like Spider Man.

Marc:

And all the money was made when.

Paul:

It was, when it was 20th Century Fox. Because forget there's like three original X Men.

There's the Wolverine spin off, there's Logan, Deadpool, if they're including that in that world as well, before they moved across to Deadpool.

Marc:

Right, so this is the first. We have a draw.

Darren:

I'm still the last.

Marc:

At the last second, Paul has pulled it back. So it is now five all.

Paul:

Wow, this is, this is tense, this episode. So we're both pretty good at this. You're going to make us do the top 20 now?

Marc:

Well, part of the reason why I have the top 20 is because we could, we can also like so far in the top 10. Paula's got 1, 2. Paul is winning because he has 2 from the top 20 and Darren has none. So we can either use that or we could carry also.

Darren:

But we can't think of any other franchises so we couldn't think of any in the top 10. They're not going to be.

Marc:

Some of these are pretty. Some of these I, I think are pretty obvious. I'm surprised you haven't guessed them yet.

Darren:

Is that a fact?

Marc:

Yes. One of them is a film that we've done recently.

Paul:

Dun, dun, dun. Oh, I've just thought one.

Marc:

It's over the Dan. It's your. It's your guess.

Darren:

Indiana Jones.

Marc:

No. So back to you, Paul.

Paul:

The Matrix. No, no, that's surprising because they've had.

Marc:

Like four even more recently than that. Darren Horn, Shrek.

Paul:

Yes, that makes sense.

Marc:

Shrek is at 15.

Darren:

4 Billion people have awful taste in films.

Paul:

Does that mean he, does that mean he's won now or are we still playing?

Marc:

We can, we can keep going.

Darren:

No, no, I've won. What are you talking about? And I've won.

Marc:

Well, no, because he's, he's already got two in there. You've only got one. You've now only got one. He's got two.

Darren:

It's like watching Shrek.

Marc:

So I think, I think stay away from Shrek. We could either try and finish off the top 20 or we could say if it's a draw when we get to the top 10, whoever's got the most in the.

In the top 20 is the winner, which means you would win, Paul.

Paul:

Okay, well, let's keep guessing for now.

Darren:

No, I don't mind. I'll concede defeat.

Marc:

We can keep guessing if you want, though.

Darren:

I don't think we're gonna come up with them.

Paul:

Oh, I'm gonna throw in Ice age.

Marc:

Yes. Number 18. Let's declare Paul as the winner, but we can carry on.

Darren:

Is he the winner though?

Paul:

I've got another one as well.

Marc:

Go for it.

Paul:

Despicable Me.

Marc:

Yes. And Minions.

Paul:

Minions.

Marc:

The Minions World 12.5.2.

Paul:

Shall I keep going?

Marc:

Any others?

Darren:

Come on if you've got them.

Paul:

Twilight.

Marc:

Yes. Number 19.

Darren:

Nice.

Marc:

Come on.

Darren:

So this top 20 has not got very many good films in.

Marc:

It doesn't matter. What do you think's made the most money? It's not what your opinion whether they're good or not. It's whether you made the made bank.

Paul:

Bank. Bank. Bank.

Darren:

I've got nothing else, Paul. Just did a really good run then.

Marc:

Anything else? Poor.

Paul:

Oh, how many we got to go?

Marc:

We have still have number 11. Number 13.

Paul:

Okay.

Marc:

Number 17 and number 20.

Paul:

Like four or five. I know you're saying they're all bad films, but I'm literally going through my Blu Ray collection in my head going like, which franchises have I got?

What haven't we done? What haven't we done? Come on, Paul. We've done the Strike World, cuz that'll have counted Puss in Boots films as well. Yeah, interesting. Oh, come on.

I'm missing a big one here somewhere. Oh no, they won't made a bang.

Marc:

None of the ones that are left or anything we've done on this podcast.

Paul:

Okay, that's not that then because we've done one of them. Nothing we've done on this podcast. We've done the Fast Furious, Blade Runner. Don't make any money.

Marc:

Maybe think of some comic books brought to life.

Paul:

You mean your comic books brought to life.

Marc:

I think of another franchise that is wasn't a cartoon, but it wasn't. Clearly. Mustn't be owned by DC or Marvel.

Paul:

Oh, oh, course. Super Mario. No, that not there yet. Is it under Nintendo as the banner?

Marc:

No, it's not even.

Paul:

Not even. Okay, that's interesting, but no bats of users are gonna make enough bank for this, is it? This is tricky.

Marc:

Something that used to be a kids TV cartoon when I grew up was then committed to movies.

Paul:

Oh, Ghostbust. No, that was the other way kids cartoon when you were young. It's been made in movies successfully.

Marc:

Not my cup of tea, but.

Paul:

Oh, so it's obviously fantasy then. Fantasy stuff. Oh no, he man's not gonna. My bank has just flopped to the box. Fantasy stuff. Dungeons and Dragons can't be there. No way.

There's been like two films. One made no money. Oh, it's getting tough. Is it the sort of thing you're gonna tell us and we're gonna be like, oh, of course.

Marc:

Maybe.

Paul:

Darren, any ideas?

Darren:

None at all.

Paul:

Okay. Let me just try. Feel like I don't want to be defeated.

Darren:

Dumb stuff like cars, but cars can't. Toy Story.

Paul:

No, I don't think there's any more Pixars in there.

Darren:

If Sonic was. You would have said a game. If it was Sonic or Mario.

Paul:

Yeah. Sonic not made it with the three of them. No need to have made. Big Bank. Doesn't it? Modern or older.

Marc:

In the last probably 15 years, there's been quite a lot of them. I don't know when the first one was.

Paul:

And they're pumping them out. Kids films.

Marc:

Yes. Yeah, I would say so. Well, they're kind of family films. Almost family films. Yeah.

Paul:

I feel I'm gonna have. Whatever you're gonna say. 100. I'm gonna have this. Right.

Marc:

There's been a lot of these variations.

Paul:

Of these killing me.

Marc:

If I. If I hum the theme tune, you'll get it.

Paul:

Hum it, hum it. Let's do this.

Darren:

I sound like a spectacle.

Paul:

Oh, of course. Transformers.

Marc:

Yes. Yes. Who owns Transformers?

Paul:

It's like Hasbro or one of the toy things.

Marc:

That's Hasbro 11. That's just outside the top 10.

Paul:

Wow. I'd have put. Actually, if we'd have thought that, I'd have swore that had been in the 10.

Marc:

Yeah.

Darren:

Yeah.

Paul:

Because they made.

Marc:

I mean, this is. This is of. As of now.

Paul:

Yeah, yeah. So maybe it's just pushed it down.

Marc:

So it's maybe just been pushed out.

Paul:

Yeah, you're right. I do have those. Yeah.

Marc:

That leaves us with three.

Paul:

You said Star Trek. That was surprising. That wasn't.

Marc:

That's not in there.

Paul:

I feel like we'll know.

Marc:

Do you want to just reveal them?

Paul:

Yeah, Just tell us.

Marc:

So which one's the next one?

Paul:

Depends how long you want this episode to be.

Marc:

13 Was Pirates of the Caribbean.

Paul:

Oh, of course.

Darren:

Yeah. That's about it.

Marc:

4.5 Billion.

Paul:

Kicking myself on that one.

Marc:

The next one was the Hunger Games.

Paul:

Yes.

Darren:

I don't think I would have guessed that. Like, they're good, but.

Paul:

Well, I thought about it at one point when I was thinking Twilight.

Marc:

I've never seen any of them, but I know they were made. Big Bank.

Paul:

Yeah. I picked Twilight over the Hunger Games thinking, you know. But. Yeah, you're right. Especially I think they got bigger as well as they went on.

And obviously they keep doing new ones, don't they?

Marc:

So the last one, I don't really know what it is. The Conjuring Universe.

Darren:

Oh, that's a horror movie.

Paul:

Yeah, but I wouldn't have thought they were in the top 20.

Marc:

They must have made 2.7 billion.

Darren:

That's how wide that universe goes.

Marc:

So what movies are in the Conjuring Universe? Is it just the Conjuring? Yeah, I think the Conjuring.

Paul:

Yeah, I think they're just familiar. I think they keep bringing up.

Darren:

Isn't it one of those horror franchises where there's spin offs with like the doll and the doll's called like Annabelle or something Nice.

Paul:

Well, Megan or something.

Darren:

Megan. Yeah.

Paul:

I think they're separate. I think the Conjurings are. I know. Final destination 1, 2, 3.

Darren:

Then why say the country in universe?

Paul:

Oh, yeah, that's true.

Darren:

Otherwise it would just be the Conjuring.

Paul:

Yeah, that's true. Well, they must have spin off then.

Marc:

There we go. So pirates. Paul is today's winner. So if it. When it gets to the end of the top 10 draw, whoever's got the most in the top 20 is the winner.

That was you today, Paul.

Paul:

So Darren is not happy with this decision.

Marc:

Just to recap, the top 10, so you've got the MC, Marvel, comic universe. Cinematic. Is it cinematic or comic? Yeah, cinematic universe at number one at 32.5.

Billion Star wars number two at 10.5, Harry Potter at number three at 9.6, Spider man at number four. 9. James Bond number five at 7.9, Fast and Furious at 6. 7.3.

DC Universe all combined number seven at 7.2, Jurassic park slash, Jurassic World number eight at 6.9. X Men and Deadpool 6.1 at number nine. And number ten was Lord of the Rings and the Hobbits at 5.9. So there we go.

Paul:

Some surprises in there.

Marc:

Yeah, sure. So how did you do listening at home? Did you. Did you do any better than these two? Send us in, let us know, send us a message and we'll.

We'll recap in the next episode.

Paul:

Totally. Will they have done better than us? Darren?

Marc:

I'd love to know.

Paul:

No.

Marc:

What would you think was the biggest surprise in that one for you?

Paul:

I think Transformers not being in the 10 or pirates maybe. I thought they'd have been in the town.

Darren:

Is that Harry Potter being that high? It's kind of. Because it's kind of a small kind of British scene.

Paul:

No, but that made serious bank.

Marc:

You think of all the, like when you go to Harry Potter world.

Paul:

Well, they made eight of them. Don't forget as well.

Marc:

Yeah.

Paul:

And I was.

Marc:

The books, the road, the books were.

Paul:

Already very popular and I'm still surprised though that the last top 10 top 20 thing was the non in at all.

Marc:

I don't think so.

Paul:

No. Because I threw out like the highest earning one. Well, I remember being the highest, only one and you're like nope, not there.

And it really shocked me because I thought that at one point I'm sure the Harry Potter's was somewhere.

Marc:

It would have been at some point.

Paul:

Yeah.

Marc:
