I think the fans from the original ‘Teen Wolf’ tuned in expecting us to ruin the franchise, and I think that we’ve only heightened it. So we’ve brought ‘Teen Wolf’ back.
It’s really wonderful that it’s the whole franchise being recognized and it’s a collective award. Each film has anywhere between 2,000 and 6,000 people working on it and so really the award is for each and every one of us. We are like a family.
I’m extremely proud to be part of the ‘Fast’ franchise, it is an experience I will always treasure.
From the outside looking in, I would say the franchise that has had the most stories that are unrelated to basketball are the Knicks.
We all know that Ray Kroc founded the McDonald’s franchise back in the 1950s, and it then became the most successful business enterprise in history.
What attracts me to Bourne’s world is that is a real world, and I think I’m most comfortable there. But I come to a Bourne movie to have fun as a filmmaker, to strut my stuff, and that’s part of the fun of franchise filmmaking.
You know, by the time you get to the fourth film in a franchise you’re really mining for something different. You’re really looking for a way to go about things that the audience hasn’t already seen.

The ‘Evening News’ is going to have a long run, both as a broadcast and as a presence online and on cellphones. It is a franchise with a very rich tradition.
I want to do anything where people feel I can help make their franchise better and make a contribution.
Boston is a very proud franchise. The NBA misses them when they are not in the mix. They, along with teams like the Knicks and 76ers are a big part of the heart, soul and history of the league.
I do look at ‘Modelland’ as a franchise.
Any union that can’t accept workers choosing their own representatives through universal franchise is finished.
A franchise gives a sense of security to everyone – the director, producers, exhibitors, and even the audience feels that they are watching something close to the first part.
I very much see ‘Resident Evil’ as my franchise that I kicked, screaming, into life.
I want to do ‘Company of Heroes 2,’ if they do it. It depends on how the movie performs, but they hope it will perform well. They have a franchise on their mind, and if it’s a franchise, man, I’m going to be a very happy person.
Again, a franchise to me doesn’t have to be a billion dollar title.
We have to stay in shape to compete against so many great players. You want to give your franchise, your team’s owner, the best chance to win every Sunday.
I would love to play a romantic lead at some point. I would love to play the hero at some point. It would be fun to be in a huge franchise blockbuster based on a series of books, whether it’s fantastical or science fiction.
What can we expect from this latest crop of indie directors who have been sucked into the franchise factory? I’m especially curious about ‘Star Wars,’ which will feature an all-indie crew after J. J. Abrams finishes with ‘Episode VII.’
I’m really enjoying the character now, but I don’t want to just be Philip Marlowe. I wouldn’t mind playing him every couple of years, perhaps, as a kind of open franchise – you know?
Waka Flocka is a product, a franchise, a brand, a label… And a good guy!
My personal opinion is that when the economy does well, anybody who has a deposit franchise will survive and grow because how can you lend if you do not have a deposit franchise?

I have said consistently both in my papers and in my speeches – which you heard in the primary campaign – that I will continue to phase out the Capital Stock and Franchise tax.
If you can improve your franchise, even if you’re doing well, you’re going to make that move. You just are – at least I am. It’s about winning and winning the right way and trying to sustain success over a large period of time.
I definitely know a lot of guys that played in the league that came from the Bronx, but not a lot of them are a franchise all-time leading scorer. It’s special, and I take pride in that.
I’m a big Batman fan; to be honest, to be a part of any superhero movie would really fulfill all of my childhood fantasies. If I could get beaten up by Batman, and just be part of the franchise, even getting kicked through a window would be great!
I hope that no American will waste his franchise and throw away his vote by voting either for me or against me solely on account of my religious affiliation. It is not relevant.

It’s a hugely popular franchise, and every ‘Housefull’ film has worked well at the box office.
Just thinking about the Pittsburgh franchise and Dan Rooney when he hired me, my first goal was just not to get fired before my 20th high school reunion.
There is a natural progression to ‘Lost,’ and as the story goes forward, it’s going to change. It’s not a static story. The franchise of ‘Lost’ is not characters sitting on a beach.
I think, quite often, filmmakers kind of think so much about what the franchise will be and sometimes can neglect to put their efforts into the movie that they are actually making.
Every franchise of both leagues will remain in its present location.
I mean the first thing you think about when you hear the Cowboys is that star, ‘America’s Team,’ and all of that. It’s a great franchise.
When my husband Jonas and I started Auntie Anne’s in 1988, we never expected or anticipated building an international pretzel franchise. It was the farthest thing from our minds.
Whether it’s a guy getting a big contract, getting a franchise deal, that comes with expectations.
Castle Rock and New Line each have their strengths, but the great thing about New Line is that they are a real focused-market, niche-market player who understand franchises. They probably understand the franchise business in motion pictures better than anyone else out there.
If the National Football League, an organization notoriously known for not standing behind their athletes of color, can come out to make a statement to condemn racism and their systemic oppression and admit they were wrong for not listening in the past, then the ‘Bachelor’ franchise can most certainly follow suit.
We all wish we could stay with one franchise and it work out the way it work out but it doesn’t necessarily work that way, but you’ve got to keep balling.
I want to own an NFL franchise. I understand the business of football.
I would miss months of school and then return with bright blond hair. Needless to say, there was bullying. I wasn’t beaten up daily, but there was name-calling and jealousy. You have to bear in mind that ‘Harry Potter’ wasn’t cool. I wasn’t part of the ‘Terminator’ franchise.
For years, I have been inspired by the inventive and masterful storytelling of the ‘SAO’ franchise. I’m thrilled to get the opportunity to work with such talented partners to bring this cutting-edge yet timeless story to a new format at Skydance.
God is not a franchise of the Republican Party.
When I bought the team, I wasn’t thinking about a new arena. But obviously I’m very proud of the contributions that the Bulls franchise has made to the community between Chicago Bulls Charities and the re-development of the West Side with the United Center being the catalyst.
We are quite excited about making ‘Bhootnath 2.’ It is a good franchise and we would definitely like to take it ahead. We would like to make third and fourth installment as well. The basic premise of the film will remain same, the ups and downs and the hilarious moments between Mr. Bachchan and the kid.
With every episodic, there’s a learning curve where writers try to find the voice of the characters by way of the actors. Many details are found along the way. On ‘Caprica,’ although the franchise already existed, we were creating an entirely new world full of new characters.
One of the wonderful things about ‘Jason Bourne’ and that franchise is getting to work the same people sporadically and over the course of many years. I’m not so keen on having to get to know a whole group of people.
I believe in MWA – management by walking around – so I spend as much time as possible traveling and visiting franchise partners. You only learn by walking around and meeting people.
The insurance of working with a big, already successful franchise just gives you the chance to do other things on a more personal level.
Shane Douglas’s work in the first 11 months as The Franchise of ECW was so groundbreaking. He made people forget about his on-air persona in WCW and successfully reinvented himself as The Franchise in ECW.
‘Quantum of Solace’ was a bit of a different circumstance than a lot of my other films because you’re stepping into a franchise, and also in that particular film, we’re dealing with a script from the writer’s strike, which was difficult to handle because there was never time to really develop a finished script.
