Percy Jackson The Lightning Thief

Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters is the sequel to Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010). Both movies are based on the Rick Riordan’s novels of the same name, and are a part of the five part novel series ‘Percy Jackson & the Olympians’. The films have been made on a relatively modest budget of roughly $90 million (each), with the first film gaining relative success. The franchise as a whole is marketed in the same ‘Harry Potter’ vein, with long standing novels adapted into film. Riordan’s Percy Jackson books are in fact still on-going with his tenth book set to release in Fall 2014 continuing on with his second storyline arc ‘The Heroes of Olympus’.
