In the section "Production" was the line seen below. It was right in the middle of the paragraph and really didn't fit. Instead of deleting altogether I moved it here, so that it could be added again (if deemed necessary) once some time can be devoted to cleaning up this article and incorporating the line so that it runs smoothly.
During filming, a van started rolling down a hill towards the cast and crew, including Uma Thurman. Pierce Brosnan raced after the van, opened the driver's side door, jumped in and stopped the vehicle.

What's up with Logan Lermanreal name Abu Quader? I'm deleting it unless we have citations. BelieVerr ( talk) 15:55, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Where is the Box Office section? Doesn't anyone know? Oh, and seventeen year old Percy Jackson? Either the movie or the article is really messed up. 66.206.233.143 ( talk) 13:17, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
If you look at the video in this link you'll see a preview that talks about Columbus changing Percy's age to 17.

If the film follows the standard 3x-budget rule for recouping costs, it's still some $50M upside down from just breaking even. Considering it didn't even break $100M in the US—and the movie had US characters and locales—I think it could hardly be considered a "box office success." 98.240.123.118 ( talk) 22:06, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
I took away the part that Mr. D is the care taker of Camp HAlf Blood in the characters section. There was no proof of it during the movie so it shouldn't be there. It seemed that Chiron was the caretaker. -- Jason Garrick ( talk) 15:41, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
There will be a sequel, right? If so, what happened to the part that said sequel???? TELL ME! Percyfangirl44 ( talk) 14:02, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
The director and Rick Riordan said there will be a sequel to this movie Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Sea Of Monsters. It will be released around 2011 or 2012. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matt8801 ( talk • contribs) 17:26, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
The burden of proof is on the person who wishes to include material, not the person removing it. (Please see WP:BURDEN.) Putting aside the fact that social networking sites do not pass WP:RS because establishing that they are indeed the official page of the person in question problematic, nowhere on that linked page does Ebert (if it's him) state that it "overperformed". He merely says that it's doing well. This does not constitute "research" that establishes a sequel. By contrast, that MTV source is indeed a reliable source, and that page does say that it performed less than was hoped. Also, Mo HH92 did not place the MTV source in the article, nor did s/he say that he did; he merely referenced it. A look through the article's edit history shows that Blytonite added it.

No, it features a video of Brandon T. Jackson, Logan Lerman and Alexandra Daddario answering a question of whether they'd be willing to do a sequel. No mention is made that the sequel is in production, nor does Columbus ever speak in that video. Nightscream ( talk) 20:13, 19 February 2010
I have heard and seen interviews with the cast and directort chirs columbus stating that the actors have been contracted for at least 3 movies and I believe that it was logan who said this too. As for production have done numerous research that says they had auditions for extras for The sea of monsters and that they had finished casting in february. Most of these sites state 2012 for a release date and are crediable but I find even if it is wikipedia deems it not be. I do not mean tp be rude when I say this but how much of what is on wikipedia is true I mean sometimes I go to the references and they are fan based sites and blogs. I think we should really consider to hard concrete research before deeming something is not going to happen as there is lots of time for people to change their minds. Aside from this topic I really hate on critrics say its not worth seeing a movie because they say so but when really the people should really make this decision I find it a waste to read the critical reception page because half the time I do not agree with it but I understand some people like to get a second opinion but for me I just Scroll past it. Sorry for getting off topic but I really needed to get that off my chest. Headstrong 345 ( talk) 22:20, 25 February 2011 (UTC)Headstrong 345
Critical reception of the film has been MOSTLY NEGATIVE and not MIXED. First of all, it has generated a ROTTEN 48% rating on Rotten Tomatoes which definately indicates that the reception has been mostly negative. On the Top Critics side the rating has been 38% which further indicates mostly negative response. For a film to have a "MIXED" reception the rating should be 50% or more on both sides.

Sally forces Gabe out of their apartment, and as he goes to get a beer from the fridge, opens it only to be turned to stone because Medusa's unprotected eyes are staring right back at him.
I saw this lastnight, and perhaps I wasn't paying attention well enough towards the end, but I don't remember this bit happening... -- Charitwo ( talk) 15:16, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
Would it be all right if I created a section that highlighted how different the film was to the book, could'nt believe it when I saw the film, they changed the entire story. I really dont know how they're going to make the sequel now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RandomWest ( talk • contribs) 19:21, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
Why can't you create a section about the differences? There are so many, there's bound to be people who come to Wikipedia to check it anyways. I'll create it nevertheless. (xxx 09:22, 9 March 2010 (UTC)) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marianneyap ( talk • contribs)
When was the book written? It sounds like a slight ripoff of Neil Gaiman's American Gods... —Preceding

Where are we getting Percy's age from? As far as I can tell, it's never stated or implied in the original movie. Looking back in the history, I can see several different ages set, though the "twelve" that the IP addresses kept setting it to is clearly incorrect. Sixteen and seventeen both seem reasonable, but is there any proof? Is something stated in the later movies? – RobinHood70 talk 02:35, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
I just noticed that this article has been placed under the category "Summer camps in films". Does it really belong there? Camp Half-Blood, one of the settings of the film, is a summer camp, yes, but does the article about the film itself belong there? Advice needed. 2ReinreB2 ( talk) 15:30, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
