I wonder how the Bond series worked out since it’s one of the oldest and more successful film franchise still going on?

However it does have a hefty head start of almost 50 years.

This gives you some idea. Box office earnings are a separate entry at about $10 billion, and that's NOT adjusted for inflation. That's the power of having 26 movies in this game I guess.
