Why did Percy Jackson’s Movie Adaptation Fail? 

When 2010’s Percy Jackon & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, a movie adaptation of Rick Riordan’s famous demigod-based novel, reached the big screens, many fans rushed to the theaters, hoping to get a glimpse of their favorite protagonist in live-action.

After the first installment, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters was released on August 7, 2013. However, both of these films faced criticism from fans as well as Rick Riordan, the author of the Percy Jackson book series.
