    The top 25 highest grossing film franchises of all time... which ones don't have pinball games? Out of the top 25 highest grossing film franchises in HISTORY there is only 11 out of the top 25 that doesn't have a pinball game. I'm including James Bond because one game made in 1980 doesn't count. I'm also not counting Superman getting a pinball in 1979 either... for example. I'm going with the golden years of Williams and Bally to today.

    Personally I'm not sure if I should include Jurassic Park or not because technically speaking that is a new franchise. Even though I think that one is screaming for a really good game, I left it off the list.

    Harry Potter is the highest grossing franchise with NO PINBALL with over 9 billion dollars. Second would be another British franchise James Bond at over 7 billion. Next is Fast and Furious with 5 billion, Despicable Me nearly 4 billion, Mission Possible 3.5 billion, Twilight 3.3 billion, Ice Age 3.2, Hunger Games 2.9, Superman 2.5, Madagascar 2.2, Captain America 2.2 or the entire DC EXTENDED Universe which means everything but Batman and Superman (Wonder Woman, Justice League, Aquaman, Flash, etc.)

    DC Extended Universe, the pin
    it would have everything, but still be a total pile of dung

    #16 5 years ago

    If the pin would be anything like the DC extended universe nobody would care as the movies suck so much sadly enough...

    It's been years since they made one which is even watchable after Man of Steel and the Dark Knight trilogy.

    Highlander
    one great ball, the rest are SDTM

    #19 5 years ago

    Not one mention of Jaws. Huh.

    Denial is an ugly thing.

    #20 5 years ago

    James Bond already has two pins

    #21 5 years ago

    Fast & Furious could have happened at one point. I had a fast loop-and-combo flow layout, and a theme in mind. But Andrew really really wanted TF&TF back in the day, and after what happened with Circe to become Full Throttle and the subsequent loss of creative control, I could not possibly have cared less. Buggered if I was going to do the same damn thing twice in a row.

    Stern's WWE ... unless I am mistaken that was originally planned to be Hunger games
