Harry Potter highest grossing franchise.

Harry Potter highest grossing franchise.

Harry Potter just passed Star Wars as the top grossing franchise ever . Can the Marvel Cinematic Universe also be considered a franchise?

On Wednesday Harry Potter the franchise pulled in 2.223 billion gross which has just surpassed Star Wars which grossed 2.218 billion. While both are very popular and Harry Potter has eight movies to Star Wars six, my question is can the Marvel Cinematic Universe also be called a franchise, and if so will it ever become the highest grossing franchise ever?
