I am pretty excited about the sequel to 2005 “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” The PG rated film is destined to take the box office this weekend with 3,929 domestic theaters and no films opening wide against it.
Sequel is widely anticipated to be one of the summer’s most successful films.

One of the reasons I am excited about the sequel is that “Prince Caspian” reteams director Andrew Adamson with the principal cast from the first film.
The new film is slightly older than the first “Narnia” with more action and likely a broader appeal.
