More formatting note than feature request. I would suggest that, when assigning names to franchises whose individual titles are quite different or otherwise unwieldy for the purposes of franchising (and there isn't already a readymade name for the franchise), that the title of the first film be used rather than blanks or ellipses or whatever for the variable word(s). For example, the franchise for Olympus Has Fallen and its two sequels. I think just leaving the franchise as "Olympus Has Fallen" is much clearer and cleaner than "... Has Fallen"
Or the franchise I just made for Clint Eastwood's monkey buddy movies, Every Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way You Can. I named the franchise "Every Which Way But Loose", and not "... Which Way ... ..."
A more extreme case, perhaps. But I think the point stands.

Re: Franchise naming
Although now that I think about it, I really should have gone with "Clint's Monkey Buddies"

Re: Franchise naming
Has Fallen is a little awkward but I think it's an appropriate name for the franchise (sans ellipsis)
