The resistance in popularity created by a film which is good in itself being attributed to a popular franchise, this dragging the overall quality of the film down.
Terminator Salvation would be good, if it was just called Salvation, and preferably didn't involve Christian Bale. Tacking it on after Rise Of The Machines contributed a vast amount of franchise drag.

Get the Franchise Drag mug.Franchise whoring is a type of corporate greed. It is defined as the act of slapping a well known name on a somewhat lackluster product. This is very prominent in the video game market, where companies such as Square-Enix will slap "Final Fantasy 7" or "Kingdom Hearts" on a product completely unrelated with the exception that they include one or two characters from the original, successful product.
Other specific cases of franchise whoring include:
Hyrule Warriors
Halo Wars
Every game with "Final Fantasy 7" that isn't Final Fantasy 7.
Every game based on a movie
Every movie based on a game
Every Kingdom Hearts game that isnt Kingdom Hearts 1 or 2.
