Somebody wanted big bucks...

2nd Star · 12-26-2008

I really hope Fox does pick it up. I still think if the left "Prince" at the 12/07 release date it would have made more money.

lovemysons · 12-26-2008

Wow, did you read some of those comments on the link? A little harsh weren't they?

It does seem like a shame, but I am sure its all about the money. It always is.

Prince Caspain wasn't as good as the first movie which probably explains the drop in proceeds from the first film. Maybe they will now get rid of the lame attraction at Hollywood Studios.

I liked both movies and know I would enjoy the third, but I have to agree. I've seen both the Narnia and Prince Caspain attractions and I was very disappointed in them.

It was 10 years before that I was at DW and the last time I saw a making of.... was the Dallmations. I was so impressed with it. It was actually interesting.

Haven't seen the attractions, but I thoroughly enjoyed both movies. I do hope that a new partner can be found as I would love to see the whole series produced. Great books and if they remain true to the story line, great movies too.

yea I loved the attraction for the lion the with and the wardrobe one. but this new attraction just doesn't make me happy I think it's boring. but yea I red the dawn treader book and it seemed pretty cool but not as big a hit as the first movie I would say.

but yea those comments were very harsh.

tragic312 · 01-05-2009

i didn't care for the prince caspian attraction when we went in november. i liked seeing the costumes but was expecting a whole lot more out of the attraction. rob hasn't seen either movie yet and he was lost when he pretty much saw the movie in the attraction. i wish they could've done more for that attraction to make it more entertaining and appealing to everyone.

Cynsayshi · 01-05-2009

I didn't see the Caspian attraction, but found the LWW tame but kind of cute.

Sorry to hear Disney isn't backing the third movie, which I think would be the most exciting. However, I can see that all the ocean-going scenes would require a fairly large budget, if they at all wanted to approach the quality standards of the POTC franchise.

I was also very curious how they were going to approach the fourth book, which is much harder to understand for a "modern" audience.

goofy_scotty · 01-07-2009

That makes me sad because I love the books and felt like Disney did a great job with the movies. I will have to join the disappointment with the attraction at DHS though I did like the PC one over the LWW.

It's a go with Fox backing Walden Media. I am so glad it has a new home and back to coming out around Christmas.

This makes me so happy!

Voyage Of The Dawn Treader is my favorite of the Narnia books, and I reeeeally wanted to see it made into a movie. I was so bummed when Disney dropped it!

Boss Mouse · 01-30-2009

I thought the books were good, the movies not.

**ddoll** · 01-30-2009

I hate to say it, but I fell asleep during Prince Caspian.

I was very excited to see it after the attraction at DHS piqued my interest, but it just didn't hold my attention like the first one.

I can understand why it didn't make as much money as the first. And if the audience loses interest in such an expensive series, the third one doesn't hold much of a chance at making a big profit.
