We'll reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's look inside THE ANSWERS BOX and discover the results from June 25's Puzzle Corner.

TRIVIA TIME
Based solely upon the number of films, what is the most successful movie franchise?

02. Earth is crazy, insane, nuts, (and) loony>It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963); which is a terrific comedy.
03. The Cash Monarchs>Money Kings (1998)
04. Not Enough Crooks>Too Many Thieves (1966)
