[What Turmeric REALLY does to your body (SHOCKING)]( [How to celebrate Pride Month at home]( Madison Troyer [ How to celebrate Pride Month at home ]( [See full slideshow »]( The very first New York City Pride parade march in New York City was held in June 1970. Fliers from that event said the march would celebrate the Stonewall uprising from the year prior, when "thousands of homosexuals went to the streets to demonstrate against centuries of abuse." In the 50 years since, Pride celebrations have morphed into bigger and more elaborate events. Still, the intention behind them has stayed the same: to come together as a community in honor of those who worked tirelessly for LGBTQ+ equality and in observance of the work still left to be done. The coronavirus pandemic means 2020's Pride Month looks wildly different than it has in years past. Even while many states have begun to open up, large gatherings are still forbidden across the country. As a result, members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies won’t be gathering for parades or marches, won’t get to attend concerts, performances, or readings, and can’t buy each other rounds in bars or dance in crowded clubs. But just because those usual events can’t happen, that doesn’t mean that Pride itself is canceled. Stacker has rounded up 25 ways you can celebrate Pride Month at home. Using news articles, event and organization websites, and a variety of other sources, we’ve gathered together some notable books to read, movies to watch, activists to follow, foundations to donate to, and events to virtually attend. This year, we can celebrate Pride by learning more about the history of the LGBTQ+ equality movement, offering support to organizations that focus on queer youth, or virtually partying with some of the nation’s best-known drag queens.

There’s no general consensus, however, about what the first film franchise was. Possibly “Bulldog Drummond,” or “The Lone Wolf,” or maybe “Godzilla?” Regardless of where you stand on the first franchise debate, basically everyone can agree on this: studios love nothing more than to turn a hit film into a full-blown series. It turns out, there’s good reason for this franchise affinity. Joe Pasqualichio, an analyst at Citadel, explained it simply, saying: “Box office flops are going to come up from time to time, but your big bets, and especially the ones with IP backing them, should be enough to cover them. And that's why you're seeing studios move towards IP and franchise films...Today, more than ever we're seeing this blockbuster strategy at studios where they rely on really big, tent-pole films—like the ‘Star Wars’ movies—to generate sufficient profits that cover all of the misses and make the overall slate profitable.” In the end, it all comes down to money. But that doesn’t mean that every installment in a given series is a hit. In fact, nearly every great franchise has had a flop or two. In the following slides, Stacker has rounded up 50 of these flops—the worst movies from famous franchises. To do this, we manually compiled a list of 50 famous franchises that span genres, decades, styles, and countries, and, using IMDb user ratings, determined the lowest-rated film in each series. Here these films and franchises are presented in random order. From fantasy franchises like “Harry Potter” to horror classics like “Nightmare on Elm Street” and children’s series like “The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” read on to find out which films audiences really didn’t like.
