A) It was sandwiched between Iron Man and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

B) It was poorly marketed and looked wholly uninteresting.

C) It had a veil of family-friendliness over it that turned off any non-children/non-Christian viewers (a medieval war movie without loads of blood? Who do they think they are, Lord of the Rings?)

D) It should have kept it’s original release date of Christmas 2007 and not tried to be a summer movie.

E) Marketing suffered when no catchy SNL Digital Short was released promoting the film.

If you answered A, you are Disney CEO Robert Iger who claimed that the May 16th release date was too competitive for a Narnia movie. Meanwhile, he hasn’t changed the release date for the third Narnia, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which will bow in on May 7th 2010, one week after Iron Man 2.

If you answered B, you’re Peter from /Film, you thinks a “large portion” of moviegoers either didn’t like the first one or were ” Not excited by the trailers and prerelease advertising for the second film.”

If you answered C, you are Peter Travers from Rolling Stone, and you are unable to separate Christians and Christian Moviegoers, which makes you either an idiot or a member of Mel Gibson’s marketing team.

If you answered D, you might be a ComingSoon.net commenter. The boys over there make note that Caspian was moved to the spring so it wouldn’t have to battle The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep, the family-film about a tiny Loch Ness monster. Needless to say, they really dodged a bullet deciding not to compete with the masterpiece that was Water Cow…Horse…whatever.

If you answered E, you’re reading the right site, and probably wouldn’t mind putting on our nostalgia caps and singing along. It’s the Chronic – WHAT! – cles of Narnia!
