I wasn't a big fan of the first one, but will probably still see the subsequent films. It wouldn't bother me if they stopped after completing a trilogy.

I think it was more interesting that not only was someone from Disney reading the site, but took the time to contact you to try to correct your information. Even if your information was accurate to being with.

wasn't that big of a fan of the first one it was a good film but haven't watched it since the theaters. I dont mind them stopping after the trilogy i might not even see the second one in till it comes out on dvd even though it looks a lot darker and kooler then the first.

Well this article seriously lacks some information. It is clear they haven'T fixed plans yet for the other ones, because they are producing 2 movies at the same time right now. They are watching as how they do at the box office and if the series continues to make them some $$ they'll surely produce more movies.

I agree with you Ray.

But when (however I will say IF, because I believe they will be a big hit but my friend doesnt) the films make big bucks I am sure Disney will try to make more.

I would like to hear what Mark Johnson had to say in context. As you reported in your update to the March 18 article, Disney reps were contacting Internet Media outlets saying the rumors about not completing the series were not true. I agree with Ray (comment 3), "this article seriously lacks some information." A fourth movie would be 3 or 4 years out, so it is not surprising that one has not been officially "green lighted." That would be foolhardy. But, given what other Disney and Walden "big wigs" have stated publicly, it seems to me that more movies are assured unless something very strange happens.

Alex, there's a big difference between having "no plans" beyond the next installment of the franchise and Disney "dumping" the franchise. It's just really intensive to make one of these movies and I'm sure that Johnson and Disney are busy trying to make sure PRince Caspian gets finished and preparations continue to get started on Dawn Treader, rather than worrying about a fourth or fifth movie which will require more casting, probably a new director, etc. I expect that if Caspian does as well as I think it will, we'll have more announcements by year's end but it makes little sense to play that far out. Heck, I'm sure that if Harry Potter 3 or 4 failed to find the success of the first two, Warner Bros would be rethinking doing the whole Harry Potter series but they also are generally only planning one movie ahead at a time and that's how it's always been.

Okay…so Disney had thought that NOT doing the entire Narnia series was a good idea why? Seriously, it would be stupid for them not to complete the series. They made A LOT of bad choices under their former CEO (like not picking up CSI, and almost not doing the Pirates trilogy), I feel that dropping the ball on this one could lead to Disney kicking themselves later on.

I mean, they do still consider themselves a family oriented company….right?
