I think they could do Prince Caspian next, and then Voyage of the Dawn Treader and then The Silver Chair (age continuaty for Eustace). In the Horse and His Boy, the Pevensies are grown up.
The Last Battle would be hard to do, because it comes last but the kids aren't much older. I don't know how they'd work it out.

Actually only Edmund and Lucy are in Voyage of the Dawn Treader. They're all in The Last Battle, though. I think they could do Prince Caspian next, and then Voyage of the Dawn Treader and then The Silver Chair (age continuaty for Eustace). In the Horse and His Boy, the Pevensies are grown up. The Last Battle would be hard to do, because it comes last but the kids aren't much older. I don't know how they'd work it out. I've been wondering about that recently too. I want Magician's Nephew and Horse and His Boy to be made into movies too, and I want publishing order, but the timeline is just stumping me. The real aging problem will be Jill and Eustace. If they made two movies between Silver Chair and The Last Battle, it would probably be okay for the pevensies. We haven't seen them in a while anyway, and they would have grown up a bit. But it shouldn't have been that long after Silver Chair in our time. |

Well I don't know if any of you have checked the box office returns, but Narnia did well. Check this out (from E!):
Aslan's magic roared forth as Harry's magic waned in the fantasy-fueled battle for ticket sales.
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe tallied $65.6 million over from Friday to Sunday to score the second-biggest December weekend opening ever.
The PG-rated Disney adaptation of C.S. Lewis' classic fable of four British kids, their magic closet and the coolest talking lion this side of Simba unspooled in 3,616 theaters, averaging a whopping $18,130 per site. The epic tale took the lion's share--57 percent--of ticket sales, according to studio figures compiled by Exhibitor Relations.
The first of a planned seven-part series, mixes of live action and CGI under the direction of Shrek mastermind Andrew Adamson. Among its sprawling cast of humans and critters, Narnia features the mellifluous tones of Liam Neeson as the computer-generated lion, rightful ruler of the kingdom of Narnia, who must face off against the usurping, ice-happy White Witch (Tilda Swinton) and her minions of scary beasties.
The only film with a bigger haul during the pre-Christmas season is another fantasy you might have heard of--a little film called The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. That J.R.R. Tolkien adaptation rang up $72.6 million on its first weekend in 2003.
While another fantasy adventure looms--Universal's remake of the classic ape tale King Kong, directed by Lord of the Rings' Peter Jackson--on Wednesday, Disney is optimistic that Narnia's magic will stick.
"I think there's more than enough room for two major hits in a season, and because of the length of the holidays, both films are going to be here for a long, long time," Chuck Vane, Disney's head of distribution, tells the Associated Press.
Narnia also earned $42 million more in overseas markets.

Hey, I didn't write it, but I feel your pain.
That is pain, right?
