If it’s in a list with other films with years first, you wouldn’t be about to visually scan by letter, though. Two “Saw” films could be separated by hundreds of others in between.
With the right roftware its reasonably easy to read and rewrite metadata/format a new file name in large batches but it’s not something I’d expect the average person to touch.
Yeah, my solution would also be awkward dealing with most movies that are one off stories and there are some weird technicalities where deciding if a movie is from one franchise or somehow a crossover series from a different studio etc. Where it would need some arbitrary decision making.
This is true.

I think this would work.
FRANCHISE (YEARRELEASED) TITLE [FORMAT]
That looks solid.
Honestly, if you could just put metadata tags on files and if file search on non-Mac machines didn’t take ages, it wouldn’t even matter.

Or you give the franchise its own folder?
I would do year first but these would all be in sub folder for the franchise
