Some media franchises are accidental, such as the Ma And Pa Kettle series of films (the title characters of which broke out of the 1947 film '' The Egg And I ''), and some are pre-planned, such as '' The Lord Of The Rings '' trilogy. The most profitable film franchises include '' Star Wars '', James Bond , Harry Potter , and ''The Lord of the Rings''. Long-running film franchises were common in the studio era, when Hollywood studios had actors and directors under long-term contract. Examples include Andy Hardy , Ma And Pa Kettle , Bulldog Drummond , Superman , Tarzan , and Sherlock Holmes . The longest-running modern film franchises are James Bond , '' Friday The 13th '', and Star Trek . In such cases, even lead actors are often replaced as they age, lose interest, or their characters are killed. Media franchises tend to cross over from their original media to other forms.
