(2000-2005)



Nickname: "The Franchise Building"

Logo: We start out by panning out through a street with many buildings, then we pan out to a skyscraper with "FRANCHISE" above it, and "PICTURES" on the base. The street with many buildings in the background is replaced by a teal background.

FX: The animation in the logo.

Music: An orchestral theme.

Availability: Seen on several films from 2000-2005 including "3000 Miles to Graceland", "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever", "Battlefield Earth", and "The Foreigner".

Scare Factor: Low.

Trivia: Franchise Pictures LLC and its subsidiaries filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions on August 11, 2005.

Variatios:

• In "Heist", the logo is black and white and we only see the camera panning up to the skyscraper.
• The short version of the logo can usually be seen in films made by Franchise Pictures. In the short vesiron, first 4 seconds are cut off and we only see the second half of the logo.
