Narnia's Prince Gallops Away With the Box Office

May 19, 2008

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian handily won the top stop at the box office over the weekend, though it failed to bring in as much as the first Narnia film did in 2005.

In the "yikes" department, Speed Racer (already struggling at the box office) dropped from third place to fourth, only earning an estimated $7.6 million this weekend. Iron Man continued to set records, holding strong at second place while What Happens in Vegas took third. In fact, Iron Man was the first film to earn over $200 million at the domestic box office this year, according to Variety. Baby Mama closed out the top five.

I enjoyed this movie thoroughly, completely glued to the screen all 2.5 hours! Ben Barnes isn't bad to look at either ;)

As a kid I was (and even now I guess) a big fan of the Narnia series. I really thought the director would be true to the book but the trailer totally turned me off. I can't believe Caspian is linked with Susan. They have absolutely no chemistry in the books and are never alone in any of the scenes together. It just looks like a gimmick to me. The book didn't need the romance so I don't think the movie needed it either.
