and saying we want to have this franchising potential. i think something like he man, you know, they re hoping that that could yield many films and tv shows and all the rest of it. but i don t think you re going to see a crossover between boba and polly pocket anytime soon. the hype, the merch and barbies, bubble gum pink is everywhere. this summer here in manhattan, anyone can take their turn in barbie land thanks to this pop up barbie cafe. it s all part of mattel s strategy to turn a company that makes toys into a company that manages film franchises. we have tickets for opening night. so what do these barbie superfans think of mattel s hollywood dreams? would you see a hot wheels movie? i would. i have two little boys, so we would be right there at opening night. i think if theyjust keep on with the the way that they ve been going, the track that they ve been on, i think that they have definitely a good opportunity to make other successful movies. what s your advice to mattel that

compare to other film franchises? okay. if there s one thing about indiana jones you should know is that it makes a lot of money. this is the average domestic growth among franchises with three or more films. indiana jones, number three with 319 million per films. avengers ahead of it, star wars ahead of it but nothing else. 519 million over four films over multiple decades. that john, is really impressive. a lot of money there. how about the critical acclaim? notice those films on the list. not really on this list. what indiana jones does that s so unique, not only makes a ton of money but the critics love it. this is the highest rotten tomatoes for franchises. and what we essentially see here is look at indiana jones on average, 86%.
