I'm not talking about just any book to movie adaption, I'm specifically talking about multi-book, multi-movie franchises. The recent blockbuster franchises based on books tend toward being based on YA books:
Harry Potter
Twilight
Hunger Games
Divergent
Narnia
Others that don't seem as big but are book to movie adaptations that were probably seen as potential franchises by the studios include:
Percy Jackson
Ender's Game
The Maze Runner
Eragon
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
