The second installment, ''[[Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters]]'', was originally intended to be released in March 2013 but was instead pushed back to August 7, 2013, and was directed by [[Thor Freudenthal]]. While the film series was intended to match the five novel book series, and the second film laid the foundation for a third film, further films were never produced. The shortened series in total grossed nearly $430 million at the worldwide box office. A [[Percy Jackson and the Olympians (TV series)|reboot television series]] premiered on [[Disney+]] in December 2023.

The films follow the adventures of [[demigod]] [[Percy Jackson]] and his comrades at the demigod training ground of [[Camp Half-Blood]]. In the first film, Percy must go on a quest to save his mother from the underworld and prove his innocence when he is accused of stealing lightning from [[Zeus]]. However, this first movie does not follow the plot of the first Percy Jackson book, the origin of inspiration for the Percy Jackson movie, by Rick Riordan. The second film revolves around Percy’s escapade as he must retrieve the legendary [[golden fleece]] from the sea of monsters, or the [[Bermuda triangle]], which is the only thing that will save the camp from the forces of darkness.

In December 2017, [[The Walt Disney Company]] agreed to a 52.4-billion-dollar deal to [[Proposed acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney|acquire]] [[21st Century Fox]], including the film rights for Percy Jackson & The Olympians; it's unknown if Disney (the owners of [[Disney Hyperion]]) will continue the series or reboot it.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2017/12/14/disney-buys-much-of-fox-in-mega-merger-that-will-shake-world-of-entertainment-and-media/|title=Disney buys much of Fox in megamerger that will shake world of entertainment and media|first=Steven|last=Zeitchik|date=December 14, 2017|publisher=|access-date=December 29, 2017|via=www.WashingtonPost.com}}</ref>

==Production==

===''The Lightning Thief''===
In June 2004, 20th Century Fox acquired the film rights to the book. In April 2007, director Chris Columbus was hired to lead at the helm of the project. Filming began in April 2009 in Vancouver while other portions of the film were shot at the Parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee; A full-scale replica of the original Parthenon in Athens. Filming wrapped up on the morning of July 25, 2009 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Digital intermediate work began in San Francisco in November 2009. Christopher Beck composed the soundtrack. Chris Columbus has stated that each member of the cast were chosen specifically with sequels in mind. "I think with Percy Jackson it was a matter of finding the right cast to fit into these roles, sort of the perfect cast for these roles, because hopefully, God willing, we will go on to do other Percy Jackson films and you want the cast to grow with their characters." All the lead actors had signed for three films during the shooting.


The films follow the adventures of [[demigod]] [[Percy Jackson]] and his comrades at the demigod training ground of Camp Half-Blood. In the first film, Percy must go on a quest to save his mother from the underworld and prove his innocence when he is accused of stealing lightning from [[Zeus]]. The second film revolves around Percy's escapades as he must retrieve the legendary [[Golden Fleece]] from the Sea of Monsters, or the [[Bermuda Triangle]], which is the only thing that will save the camp from the forces of darkness.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians (also known as Percy Jackson) is a two-film series based on the novel series of the same name by the author Rick Riordan. The series was distributed by 20th Century Fox, produced by 1492 Pictures and consists of two installments. The first film, Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010), was directed by Chris Columbus and was released on February 12, 2010. The second installment, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, was originally intended to be released in March 2013 but was instead pushed back to August 7, 2013, and was directed by Thor Freudenthal. While the film series was intended to match the five novel book series, and the second film laid the foundation for a third film, further films were never produced. The shortened series in total grossed nearly $430 million at the worldwide box office. A reboot television series premiered on Disney+ in December 2023.

The films follow the adventures of demigod Percy Jackson and his comrades at the demigod training ground of Camp Half-Blood. In the first film, Percy must go on a quest to save his mother from the underworld and prove his innocence when he is accused of stealing lightning from Zeus. The second film revolves around Percy's escapades as he must retrieve the legendary Golden Fleece from the Sea of Monsters, or the Bermuda Triangle, which is the only thing that will save the camp from the forces of darkness.

Main article: Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

In June 2004, 20th Century Fox acquired feature film rights to the book.[1] In April 2007, director Chris Columbus was hired to helm the project.[2] Filming began in April 2009 in Vancouver.[3] The film was released on February 12, 2010. It was met with mixed reviews upon release and was a commercial success, grossing almost $227 million at the worldwide box office against a budget of $95 million. The plot revolves around a sixteen-year-old Percy Jackson who discovers that he is the son of Poseidon, Greek God of the sea, and goes to Camp Half-Blood, a training camp for demigods, the half mortal children of Greek gods. When Percy's mom is kidnapped by Hades, and Percy is accused of stealing Zeus' lightning bolt, Percy and his friends go on a quest to rescue his mom from the underworld, leading them across America to find Persephone's pearls, while proving that Percy is not the lightning thief and is innocent.

In October 2011, 20th Century Fox announced a sequel based on the second book, The Sea of Monsters.[4] The film was released on August 7, 2013. Percy Jackson, son of Greek god Poseidon, discovers he has a half-brother, Tyson a Cyclops, and embarks on a journey with his friends to retrieve the Golden Fleece to save a magical tree containing the spirit of Zeus's daughter Thalia Grace who died at the gates of Camp Half-Blood while saving Annabeth, Luke and Grover. This tree protects their training ground, Camp Half-Blood and reinforces their borders. They must travel to the Sea of Monsters to save the fleece, and conquer the challenges that may await them. The film grossed just over $202 million at the worldwide box office.
