Note on qualifications: Only sequels/spin-offs/remakes/reboots. First franchise entries were listed in the Top 10: Best first-of-franchise movies. Something is considered a franchise after more than 3 films; 3 films make a trilogy, not yet truly a franchise. Auxiliary products such as novels and video games do not help qualify. Character-specific films within a larger fictional universe do not qualify (such as Black Panther, Dr. Strange, Aquaman etc.) before there are more than 3 films primarily related to the specific character.
