With the world premiere of “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” less than 24 hours away, and the US open in roughly ten days, multiple media outlets have published reports on the film.
Mike Collett-White from the Reuters news service reports, “Will Narnia blockbuster sink or sail, pundits ask.” He writes:
“The third Narnia film involves an epic sea voyage, but after its predecessor underperformed at the box office and Disney decided to ditch the franchise, it looks like sink or swim time for the series.”
Hollywoodnews.com’s Sean O’Connell also wonders about the film’s box office performance in his piece, “‘Chronicles of Narnia’ sets sights sights on ‘Potter’ ahead of world premiere.”
Finally, the Wall Street Journal asks “Has God Returned to Narnia?“, commenting “The filmmakers behind the new Narnia movie are putting more faith in Aslan this time around.”
The Journal (a fine newspaper, by the way, and the United States’ largest by circulation) has also published “New ‘Narnia,’ Minus Disney, Hopes to Regain Series’ Spirit.” The article includes this blurb:
“Mr. Johnson said no decision has been made yet about whether there will be another Narnia sequel, but if the series moves ahead the next film will be ‘The Silver Chair.'”
